HC Deb 29 June 1989 vol 155 c541W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will take steps to simplify the forms used to claim benefit; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Steps are taken in the production of forms to ensure that they are as simple and as easy to use as they can be. The Department is committed to research and testing as part of a continuing programme in the designing and writing of new and existing forms.
