HC Deb 10 March 1987 vol 112 c157W
43. Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider changing the range of questions asked by liable relative officers in interviews.

Mr. Lyell

The possibility of introducing a postal inquiry form, to filter out those cases where an interview is not necessary, is being considered. This should reduce the number of interviews by liable relative officers, thus saving time for claimants and the Department.
