HC Deb 18 January 1978 vol 942 cc270-1W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the future practice of his Department in the light of the judgment in Mrs. June Wyatt's appeal against the decision of the West London Supplementary Benefits Appeal Tribunal.

Mr. Orme

This judgment is primarily a matter for the Supplementary Benefits Commission. I understand that the Commission will be considering the full implications of the judgment at its next meeting later this month. I will write to my hon. Friend later.
