§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he plans to give more information on the remunerative work changes which will come into effect in April 1992; and if he will make it his policy to circulate this information to all citizens advice bureaux.
§ Mr. JackWe are planning a co-ordinated publicity package to cover both the change in the remunerative work rule in family credit and income support and the other changes which are taking place at the same time next April, particularly the introduction of disability working allowance. This publicity will start a few weeks before the changes come into force. In the meantime, I am about to write to the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux to clarify the effect of the changes in the remunerative work rule and the protection arrangements which we are providing for those on income support, and already working 16 or more hours a week, at the time of the change. I will make available a copy of this letter to the hon. Member.
