§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list, for each benefit administered by his Department, the legally enforceable obligations on his Department to encourage the take-up of each benefit.
§ Miss WiddecombeThe Department is not obliged by law or statute to encourage take-up of benefits. However, it is our policy to disseminate as widely as possible all necessary information about available benefits to enable potential claimants to be aware of opportunities.
