§ Mr. BradleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to act upon the recommendation made by the Social Security Committee in its third report of Session 1992–93 on the priority which should be afforded under the new community care arrangements and by the new independent living funds to people prevented from making a claim to the original independent living fund due to delays in processing claims for disability living allowance and attendance allowance.
§ Mr. ScottAll applications to local authorities and to the new independent living (1993) fund will be dealt with on their individual merits. However, we will ensure that the trustees of the fund are aware of the committee's recommendations.
