Mr. Race
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what will be the administrative cost of the decision not to pay child benefit for school leavers who find full-time employment, or a place on a youth opportunities programme course, and whether the estimated £10 million saving takes account of that administrative cost.
Mr. Newton
The administrative cost is estimated to be just over £1 million a year. The figure of £10 million is the saving in benefit.
