asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if it is his intention that supplementary benefit should be reckonable for tax;(2) if it is his intention to make reckonable for tax the payments made on behalf of children to supplementary benefit beneficiaries.

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Barking (Miss Richardson) on 16 April.—[Vol. 982, c. 613.]

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if it is his intention to make family income supplement reckonable for tax;(2) if it is his intention to make child benefit and child benefit increase reckonable for tax.

I have no plans to do so.
