HC Deb 24 November 1969 vol 792 c3W
74. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, following the further evidence submitted by the hon. Member for Twickenham about abuses over supplementary benefits, he will now amend the rules governing the disbursement of such benefits.

Mr. Ennals

The hon. Member's evidence would justify neither changes in the entitlement provisions of the scheme, nor innovations in administrative practice, which is of course under constant scrutiny in the light of all the relevant evidence.
