§ Mr. ScottCurrent expenditure plans, Command 615, provide for spending on benefits for the sick and disabled to increase by over £3 billion by 1991–92. We shall give careful consideration to the report of the Social Security Advisory Committee when we reach conclusions on the implications of the results of the surveys of disability carried out by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys. It is too soon to say how this will affect existing expenditure plans.
