§ Earl Russellasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether since child benefit was introduced in lieu of a child tax allowance, the whole of Government expenditure on it is properly debited to the social security budget.
§ Lord HenleyChild benefit replaced not only child tax allowance but also the cash benefit family allowance. It is Government expenditure paid from voted funds (Class XIII, Vote 1) and is properly attributable to the social security budget.
