§ Mrs. Dunwoodyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether there are circumstances in which there is a policy of including photographs in the files of social security claimants
§ Mr. Newton:Yes. This occasionally occurs in connection with a claim for supplementary benefit where it is necessary for a "liable relative", most often the husband or ex-husband of the claimant, to be interviewed, and the claimant has lent a photograph to help the Department's officer to identify the person concerned.
