HC Deb 27 July 1983 vol 46 c503W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what instructions local offices of his Department are given concerning claims by supplementary pensioners for locks or chains with which to make their homes secure.

Dr. Boyson

There are no instructions to local offices on this point, as there is no provision under the supplementary benefit scheme for single payments to be made for security devices.
