§ Mr. BradleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people will still be in receipt of special transitional additions in 1994–95 and the percentage of benefit increase taking effect in April.
§ Mr. BurtDue to the very small numbers presently in receipt of special transitional addition it is impossible to give an accurate forecast of the number likely to be in receipt in 1994–95. The latest figures available are for February 1993 when 500 people were receiving a special transitional addition. Special transitional additions will increase in April by 3.5 per cent.
