HC Deb 19 November 1976 vol 919 cc786-7W
Mr. Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services on what grounds his Department is refusing to pay the sum of £200 awarded to Mr. Ernest Albert Dobson of Peterborough for special health needs by the Social Security Appeals Tribunal.

Mr. Orme

I understand that the award has not been implemented because the Supplementary Benefits Commission considers the Appeal Tribunal's decision to be wrong in law and it proposes forthwith to seek leave of the High Court to apply for an order of certiorari to have it quashed.
