§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in the light of the fact that certain elderly and disabled persons who are absent from home at summer schools or on short holidays for the elderly, but are normally resident in the United Kingdom, may lose benefits or entitlement to benefit, he will take steps to ensure this does not happen; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisI have written to my hon. Friend to give him the fuller information promised in my reply of 11th June—[Vol. 912, c.804–5]—to his Questions about disabled people following 299W Open University courses and who attend summer schools or travel abroad. My letter covers both elderly and disabled people.
