§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what categories of persons, other than Ugandan Asians, are eligible for benefits and services of the type provided at Uganda resettlement camps and at the prices there prevailing.
§ Mr. DeanThe resettlement centres have been established specifically to provide temporary accommodation for Ugandan Asians and their services are. therefore, not available to any other persons. Supplementary benefits are payable to anyone in Great Britain who satisfies the relevant conditions under the Ministry of Social Security Act, 1966.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is aware that the Ugandan Asians in resettlement camps are provided with housing, heating, lighting, bedding, furniture, food, entertainment, television and the cleaning of their accommodation at charges of £4 per week for a single person, £6 for a married couple, and £1.50 for children between 2 years and 16 years; and whether he will take action to ensure that all unemployed, sick and disabled and those on social welfare benefits are granted by Her Majesty's Government the same facilities on the same basis of payment.
