HC Deb 22 July 1977 vol 935 c761W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, in the case of disabled people, he will consider abolishing or raising the capital limit of £1,250 which disqualifies them from receiving supplementary allowance.

Mr. Orme

The rules for the treatment of capital in the supplementary benefit scheme were last revised in November 1975, and no further revision is likely to be made in advance of the review of the scheme now in progress.
