Social Security Act (Benefit Regulations)

HC Deb 13 June 1980 vol 986 c339W

Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he intends to lay the regulations required under the Social Security Act.

Mrs. Chalker

My right hon. Friend intends to lay before Parliament around the middle of July those regulations to be made under the Supplementary Benefits Act 1976 as amended by the Social Security Act 1980 which affect the calculation of weekly supplementary benefit. Regulations dealing with single payments will be laid shortly thereafter.
