§ Mr. Scottasked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent the Supplementary Benefits Commission will be responsible for the Family Income Supplement Scheme; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir K. JosephThe Supplementary Benefits Commission were not asked for views on the scheme and have therefore offered none. They were asked to be the statutory authority for formally determining claims and agreed. They will, of course, have no responsibility for the structure of the scheme.
