HC Deb 12 July 1978 vol 953 cc626-7W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to introduce legislation to reverse the decision of the High Court in R v. West London Supplementary Benefits Appeal Tribunal, ex parte Rosamund Daisy Clarke, which decided that an undertaking by a relative sponsoring the entry of a migrant to the United Kingdom to prevent the latter becoming a charge on public funds is unenforceable by the authorities.

Mr. Ennals

This question is considered in the report on the review of the supplementary benefits scheme, to be published tomorrow for public discussion. A decision on amending legislation will be taken in the light of views expressed.
