§ 25. Mr. Goldingasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she will establish an inquiry into the difficulties insured persons face in obtaining benefit.

Action is taken to put matters right in the proportionately small number of cases where any difficulty arises such as the two recent cases on which I have corresponded with my hon. Friend.
