HC Deb 28 March 1980 vol 981 c698W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will seek powers to require all people who have been found guilty of making false social security claims to give a pint of blood every six months.

Mr. Prentice

No. The nation's needs for blood are met by voluntary donations and I believe that it would be wrong to depart from this principle.
