§ Mr. John Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why there has been a delay in the hearing of the appeal of Miss Gillian Ward, national insurance no. WK625542A against refusal to pay statutory sick pay and when it is proposed to hear her appeal.
§ Mr. WhitneyI regret that pressure of work in the local office concerned has led to delay in handling the case of Miss Gillian Ward, who asked on 29 October 1984 for an adjudication officer's decision on her title to statutory sick pay for two days in May 1984. A decision was issued on 16 January.
