Question:464 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs his views on whether one of the most serious anomalies in relation to social welfare is the fact that bank moneys and other capital is assessed at 10 per cent in the means test for unemployment assistance and supplementary welfare allowance; and if this system will be changed in view of the current nominal deposit interest rates.
