§ Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will investigate the reasons why Mrs. Edith Bird of 14 Birkholme Drive, Meir Heath, Stoke on Trent, has not received her £10 Christmas bonus.
§ Mr. LyellThe local office's records show that proper arrangements had been made for Mrs. Bird to receive the Christmas bonus during week commencing 1 December 1986.
