HC Deb 02 August 1976 vol 916 cc612-3W
Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether it is now standard practice for social security claimants to be given information about how their payments are made up.

Mr. Orme

No. It has not yet been found possible to devise a method by which this could be undertaken within the constraints of the staff numbers available. Claimants are, however, always advised that an explanation will be given on request.
