§ 54. Mr. Goldingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take steps to improve the advice given by his Department to a widow on the death of her husband.
§ Mr. DeanI am always prepared to consider suggestions for improving the leaflet which my Department uses for giving general advice to a widow. Advice on an individual case is usually given in an interview or letter and I am satisfied that, with few exceptions, such advice is full, courteous and prompt.
