§ Mr. Rookerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to amend page 23 of his Department's leaflet "Which Benefit" in order to inform women between the ages of 60 and 65 years that from September 1979 they have been allowed to claim mobility allowance.
§ Mr. Prentice: As the bulk of the current edition of "Which Benefit" (FB 2) has now been distributed to a wide variety of individual users, it would not be practical to issue an amendment slip.
The forthcoming November 1980 edition of the leaflet FB2 makes clear that there is no distinction between the sexes in the age at which they may claim.
