asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the present level of notional fuel element within supplementary benefit; and within the fuel element, what sums are allowed for (a) heating, (b) lighting, (c) hot water and (d) cooking.

There is no specific element for fuel in the supplementary benefit scale rates. I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Stretford (Mr. Lloyd) on 2 December at column132.
