HC Deb 11 July 1978 vol 953 c530W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek to amend the legislation which requires the claim for supplementary benefit of a married couple, or a couple living as husband and wife, to be made by the man.

Mr. Orme

This question will be discussed in the report by the team reviewing the supplementary benefit scheme. This report will be published soon for public discussion, in the light of which the Government will take decisions on this and other issues dealt with by the review.
