HC Deb 06 March 1978 vol 945 c480W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what advice on home budgeting is made available through officials of his Department to families on supplementary and other benefits, who are rehoused into different changed domestic circumstances.

Mr. Orme

Where a family on benefit is experiencing particular difficulty in managing its affairs, local office staff will do what they can to help, referring appropriate cases to the Department's special welfare officers and local authority social services departments.
