HC Deb 30 November 1971 vol 827 c47W
36. Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what instructions are to be given by his Department to local social security offices to ensure that retired people are in receipt of sufficient income during the coming winter months.

Sir K. Joseph

Local offices have standing instructions to assist people to obtain all the benefits to which they are entitled. Social Security benefits were increased substantially last September.
