HC Deb 14 July 1987 vol 119 c447W
Mr. Hargreaves

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will reissue the leaflet, "What To Do After a Death".

(2) why the leaflet "What To Do After a Death", has been out of print since 1979.

Mr. Portillo

The current edition of Social Security leaflet D49 "What To Do After a Death", is still available. The August 1979 date on the cover of the leaflet is an indicaton of the original production date for that edition. Since that date the leaflet has been amended and reprinted several times. Half a million copies were printed and distributed by the Department last year. A new edition of the leaflet is in the final stages of preparation and will be available later this year.
