§ Mrs. Chalkerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider the payment of benefits to persons employed in sheltered workshops as part of the sheltered workshop wage, and show such benefits as wages on pay slips handed out for work.
§ Mr. DeakinsNo. It would be difficult to combine benefits such as mobility allowance, attendance allowance or family income supplement with wages; and there would be the serious disadvantage that "wages" would as a result vary greatly for reasons quite unrelated to the work being done.
