25. Mr. Stallard

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has now received on his death grant consultative document.

Mr. Rossi

I refer the hon. Member to my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Brighton, Kemptown (Mr. Bowden) earlier today.

26. Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many of the representations which he received on the death grant consultative document rejected all his options and called for a universal uprating to its original value.

Mr. Rossi:

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Brighton, Kemptown (Mr. Bowden) earlier today. Some 30 per cent. of representations both rejected all the options and called for an increase to restore the grant to its original value.
