HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c453W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to establish a disablement allowance available to all disabled persons rated according to a reviewable level of disability for each recipient.

Mr. Prentice

Notwithstanding our long-term objectives, the present state of the economy does not allow for the introduction of any new benefits for disabled people.
