§ Mr. Tilleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services when supplementary benefit leaflets S.B.1 No. 82 and S.B.21 will be revised to take account of the housing benefit scheme.
§ Mr. NewtonLeaflets SB1, for use by persons other than the unemployed, and SB21, for use by unemployed persons, explain in very general terms how to claim supplementary benefit. They both refer to the main supplementary benefit leaflets SB8 and SB9 which contain much fuller information about the scheme, including details of housing benefit, and which are issued to all claimants. In the light of this, it has been decided that it is unnecessary to revise SB1 and SB21 specially, but minor consequential amendments will be made when they are next due for reprint.
