HC Deb 20 June 1991 vol 193 cc274-5W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will issue guidelines to the Benefits Agency concerning the deadline for the introduction of computer-generated benefit notifications.

Miss Widdecombe

The phased implementation of the Department's operational strategy computer systems will be completed this month on schedule. Benefit notifications will then be issued by automated means for the great majority of claims for benefits administered by the Benefits Agency.
