HC Deb 27 October 1980 vol 991 c187W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what proposals he has to improve the take-up of benefits.

Mr. Prentice:

When benefit rates are increased next month, the Department will be running a national television and press advertising campaign to further improve the take-up of family income supplement among working families with low incomes. We will also be publishing a new edition of our guide "Which Benefit?" and this, like other leaflets about individual benefits, will be available from local social security offices.
