HC Deb 28 March 1985 vol 76 c314W
Mrs. Clwyd

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what recent representations he has received from the Welsh Consumer Council regarding the level of the death grant; what response he is making; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

In August last year, I received from the Welsh Consumer Council a copy of a report published by the National Consumer Council on the future of the death grant. My response made it clear that substantive comments on the issues raised was a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services who is responsible for the administration of this grant.
