§ Mr. KidneyTo ask the Prime Minister, pursuant to his oral answer to the hon. Member for Meriden (Mrs. Spelman) of 18 March 1998,Official Report, column 1287, if he will introduce a scheme to help married couples with the cost of setting up their first home. [37454]
§ The Prime MinisterI believe that the approach set out by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget statement is the right one—it makes support for those caring for children the primary aim, and provides help for families at a time when the financial demands on them are the greatest.
