§ Mr. CorbettTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will set out in theOfficial Report what steps claimants for family credit, who were in receipt of family income supplement, are expected to take to satisfy his Department that they do not have more than £6,000 in savings, apart from providing details of accounts held by banks, building societies or other financial bodies.
§ Mr. PortilloFamily income supplement recipients who declared that they had capital worth more than £2,000 were asked to provide evidence by sending in bank statements or account books, and so on. Those who had any property or land (other than the house they lived in) were asked to submit recent evidence of the value if available, and if not to provide the necessary details of the Department to ask the district valuer for a valuation.
