HC Deb 01 April 1998 vol 309 c585W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if she will make it her policy to pay increases in income support child personal allowances on the child's 11 and 16 birthday. [35722]

Mr. Field

When a dependant child reaches age 11 or 16, the increase in the Income Support child personal allowance in respect of this age change is payable from the first Monday in September which follows the 11th or 16th birthday. We have no plans to change this arrangement.
