HC Deb 13 November 1972 vol 846 cc46-7W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider making it a requirement for young unemployed persons to attend day release courses without loss of benefit.

Mr. Dean

No. Benefit may already be payable to young people on such courses if they can fulfil the usual benefit conditions. I should be glad to look into any case which is causing the hon. Member concern.
