HC Deb 09 May 1972 vol 836 c308W
53. Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will review the condition of entitlement to supplementary benefits.

Sir K. Joseph

I have no proposals for amending the provisions regarding entitlement to supplementary benefit laid down in Section 4 of the Ministry of Social Security Act, 1966. As I told the House on 22nd March, I shall be laying an instrument proposing increased supplementary benefit scale rates with effect from 2nd October.—[Vol. 833, c. 1501.]
