§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is satisfied that leaflets SB21/Nov 82 and SB1/Nov 82 will not when displayed cause confusion because of the similarity of their format.
§ Mr. NewtonI do not consider that there is a danger of confusion with these two leaflets. The cover of each leaflet lists in large type the people for whom it is appropriate. Leaflet SB21 is available to unemployed claimants of supplementary benefit through unemployment benefit offices and leaflet SB1, available mainly from post offices and local DHSS offices, is for pensioners and others.
§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) whether leaflet SB1/Nov 82 is intended to be given to the unemployed;
(2) whether it is intended that all unemployed persons will automatically be issued with leaflet SB21/Nov 82.
§ Mr. NewtonSince December 1982 instructions have provided for the automatic issue to all unemployed people of leaflet SB21/Nov 82 instead of leaflet SBI/Nov 82.
