HC Deb 27 July 1976 vol 916 c217W
65. Mr. John Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in how many cases an attendance allowance is being paid to a disabled person where there is in fact no one in attendance.

Mr. Alfred Morris

I regret that this information is not available. The medical conditions for attendance allowance as laid down in Section 35(1) of the Social Security Act 1975 relate to the amount of attention or supervision which a person requires, not to the presence of any particular attendant.

Forward to
