HC Deb 11 February 1975 vol 886 cc126-7W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will take steps to see that television sets with legs are not allowed to be purchased when a social security grant for furniture is given to individuals.

Mr. Alec Jones

There is no evidence that any such purchase has occurred and I am satisfied that existing safeguards are adequate to prevent any such abuse.
