HC Deb 18 June 1979 vol 968 c420W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will undertake a review of current procedures for helping recipients of benefits and pensions to meet mounting fuel costs, with the view to avoiding the poverty trap and low take-up.

Mr. Prentice

The Government have this subject under review against the background of their public expenditure objectives and the need to avoid further complication of the social security system.
