HC Deb 02 February 1978 vol 943 c263W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on his policy towards paying the transport costs of the personal effects of an immigrant who wishes to return to his country of origin but who is unable to pay such costs himself.

Mr. Ennals

This is a matter for the Supplementary Benefits Commission. It is not the Commission's policy to meet such costs.
