HC Deb 19 May 1969 vol 784 c5W
48. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what distribution was made of the leaflet, "The Short Step"; and what further distribution is proposed.

Mr. Ennals

There was a mass distribution to every address in Scotland, Wales, the Northern Region, Merseyside and the South Western Region, and a selective distribution to post offices, Ministry offices, town halls, voluntary bodies, etc., in Manchester, Birmingham, Hull, York and a number of towns in the East Riding and East Anglia.

It is not proposed to make a further distribution of the leaflet since some of the information it contains is already out of date and will become further out of date when we increase benefits in the autumn.
