Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what assessment he has made of the implications of his policy of curtailing payment of residential allowance to claimants in care homes when the claimant is away from the care home for longer than six days.

Mr. Burt

We have recently received a number of representations from hon. Members and others on this issue and we are giving careful consideration to all the implications. We shall make an announcement shortly.
