HC Deb 19 July 1976 vol 915 c390W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement about abuses on social security; and if he will set up an immediate public inquiry into the matter.

Mr. Orme

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) on Friday 16th July 1976. I have no plans to set up a public inquiry.
