Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.


Social Security

But is it not the case that that is not quite accurate? The order that we are debating this evening includes an increase in child benefit, which will not be included in the figure that will subsequently be uprated by the following year's inflation. Although that is being added on a once-only basis now, next year's inflation rate will be applied to the underlying figure, not the figure in the order before us.
