To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will set out in a table the child allowances paid to families with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10 children in each of the European Community member states.

I refer the hon. Member to the Department's publication, "Tables of Social Benefit System in the European Communities (Position at 1 January 1987)", a copy of which is in the Library. Section VIII contains information on child allowances in the European Community member states.
