§ 71. Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services which local authorities in Greater London impose a means or other test as a condition of membership of pensioners' luncheon clubs; and what guidance he has given to local authorities concerning membership of these clubs.
§ Mr. AlisonThis information is not available centrally. Where facilities are still limited, local authorities no doubt use various criteria to ensure that those most in need of meals receive them. It has not been considered necessary to issue guidance to local authorities about membership of luncheon clubs.
