How much money each week

Hi could I please ask how much money you give your 16 year old who's in full time education each week?
I don't mean for clothes and college/school things I mean to go out with mates etc.

My son is at college full times he's just left school. He doesn't have a part time job he's applied for loads but not getting anywhere. I still revive child benefit for him plus child tax credit and maintenance each month off his dad. I'm just wanting to know what a reasonable amount would be to give him each week.
Thanks

@Mominatrix

Please feel free to help me brush up on my reading comprehension

"limited range of where he can spend it (no dodgy off-licences so no purchasing alcohol)"

Limited range implies restriction does it not?

@Mominatrix

You get alerts and limit your 17 year old's spending?

This is what you said. I do not limit my son’s spending.

In terms of places he can spend, I can’t believe that I need to justify being glad my son can’t purchase alcohol with money I give him. Confused. How wierd.
