§ Mr. Sproatasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the 17-yearold school pupil, Verrell Holness, who was receiving £25 a week social security, is still receiving the same sum although he is no longer living in the hotel room in respect of which he was receiving an element of benefit; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. OrmeI understand that Verrell Holness has left school but he has not so far renewed his claim for supplementary benefit. If he should make another claim his entitlement to benefit will be assessed on the basis of his circumstances at that time.
