§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he proposes to make weekly additional grants from the social fund in respect of community care needs.
§ Mr. ScottCommunity care grants are intended to help certain priority groups who are receiving income support meet exceptional expenses. The social fund is not a form of weekly maintenance and help will be provided by way of lump sum payments. At present we do not propose to alter these arrangements.
