Social Security Reform

HC Deb 11 January 1990 vol 164 cc718-9W

Miss Widdicombe

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he will respond to the report by the Social Services Select Committee on the reform of social security in April 1988.

Mr. Newton

I have today laid before Parliament copies of the Government's observations on the Committee's report, which I recognise as a constructive contribution to the debate on these issues.
