§ Mr. Frank FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security in view of the low take-up of community care grants from the social fund, if he will consider altering the conditions under which community care grants can be awarded, in order that more payments of this sort can be made.
§ Mr. Peter LloydWe have no plans to alter the conditions under which community care grants can be awarded. We are, however, considering what might need to be done further to improve take-up which has steadily increased in recent months.
