HC Deb 30 April 1984 vol 59 cc49-50W
Mr.Jack Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he proposes to take action to improve the administration of mobility allowance.

Mr.Newton

In the light of the substantial volume of comments received, we are still considering the main recommendations in the Oglesby report for a re-casting of the arrangements for the administration and adjudication of mobility allowance. However, we have already acted on a number of recommendations to speed up the handling of claims under existing arrangements; and this has contributed to a substantial improvement in clearance times.
