HC Deb 16 March 1971 vol 813 cc265-6W
36. Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now publish details of his policy to publicise social security and welfare entitlements in order to improve take-up of these benefits.

Sir K. Joseph

A nationwide campaign will be launched immediately after Easter urging those entitled to free milk, relief from National Health Service charges and to Family Income Supplement, to take advantage of these benefits.

The availability of leaflets and claim forms for free milk and relief from National Health Service charges will be publicised towards the end of March.

37. Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a Ministerial broadcast concerned with the changes in the provision of health and welfare benefits on 3rd April 1971.

Sir K. Joseph

No. I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his other Question on this subject today.
