§ Mr. Rookerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many copies of departmental leaflets P.11; D.11; and G.11 detailing information on prescription, dental and ophthalmic charges were produced in October and November 1981; if the information contained in the leaflets follows the decisions foreshadowed in Cmnd. 8175 in respect of public expenditure plans; and if a reprint will be required following the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement of 2 December 1981.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergFive months' supply of Departmental leaflets P.11; D.11 and G.11 were printed in November. Each of these amalgamated in the interests of economy, information previously provided in two or296W more leaflets and took account of the November 1981 supplementary benefit provisions which govern entitlement to remission from charges on low income grounds. The information contained in the leaflets reflects the public expenditure decisions foreshadowed in Cmnd. 8175. Subject to the regulations required to implement the proposals made by my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 2 December being approved, amended leaflets will be issued in due course.
