Welfare plan would boost aid for low income families
A government white paper in the Commons outlines an income security overhaul. It proposes taxing family allowances and raising contributory program contributions to fund a sliding scale of child payments from 16 dollars per month for a family earning 4500 or less to 5 dollars for earnings between 9501 and 10000. The plan, targeting the aged and disabled, would start in September 1971 with higher old age pension payments. About 1.3 million would receive both pension and supplement.
