HC Deb 07 March 1978 vol 945 c583W
29. Mr. Brooke

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the arrangements for helping less-well-off people with their fuel costs.

Mr. Deakins

I would commend to the hon. Member's attention Chapter 12 of the Supplementary Benefits Commission's annual report for 1976—Cmnd. 6910—which described the achievements and the limitations of the social security system in helping people with their fuel costs. The Government are keeping these problems under review.
