asked the Minister for Finance how much it would cost per annum to increase to £32 children's allowances of civil servants who are receiving £11.

The estimated cost of increasing to £32 children's allowances of civil servants at present payable at the rate of £11 is £37,800 a year.

Would the Minister say if that applies to all Departments and all grades which have the present £11 children's allowances?

Yes, I understand so.
