HC Deb 10 December 1984 vol 69 c384W
Mr. Leighton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services which of the current review teams are looking at the question of social provision for unemployed people; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Newton

The reviews of supplementary benefit, housing benefit, and benefits for children and young people are all concerned with aspects of provision for unemployed people. The re view teams are due to finish their work by the end of the year and the Government's conclusions and proposals for change will be published in the early part of next year.
