46. Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to involve employers in disseminating information on the new family credit scheme.

Mr. Scott

We shall shortly be sending all employers a leaflet giving basic information about family credit so that they can, if they wish, tell employees about the new scheme. Claims and payment of family credit will, of course, be handled by the Department.
