HC Deb 16 July 1991 vol 195 cc133-4W
Miss Emma Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security under the proposals for the future of the independent living fund, how the present arrangement whereby direct payments are made to severely disabled people to make their own personal assistance arrangements will continue after 1993.

Mr. Scott

I refer my hon. Friend to the announcement I made during consideration of Lords amendments to the Disability Living Allowance and Disability Working Allowance Bill, on 21 May at col 794. We are still considering the form the successor body may take.
