Mr. Mr.Best

asked the secretary of State for Social Services when he intends to publish the second stage of the review of the supplementary benefit scheme with particular reference to homeless persons, resettlement units, special offices and voucher payments.

Mrs. Chalker

As I said in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Cheltenham (Mr Irving) on 20 May [Vol. 5, c.93], I am at present considering, in the light of recent legislative changes and other developments since 1978, how best to carry forward the proposals of the supplementary benefits review team for a review of various aspects of policy on people without a settled way of life.
