HC Deb 16 July 1987 vol 119 c629W
Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the amount of money available for the social fund will take account of the time taken for pre-1988 single payments to pass through the administrative process.

Mr. Scott

Awards of single payments made under the former legislation but payable after the introduction of the social fund will not be payments from the fund. They will not affect social fund budgets.
