HC Deb 27 June 1994 vol 245 c439W
Ms Corston

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what research he has commissioned or undertaken in the past five years in specific relation to article 27(1) of the United Nations convention on the rights of the child on an adequate standard of living.

Mr. Burt

No research has been undertaken specifically as a result of article 27(1) of the convention. However, research is regularly conducted into the role of social security and its impact on those in low income households. A list of research projects sponsored by the Department is published in the "Social Security Research Yearbooks"—formally the "DHSS Handbook of Research and Development"—copies of which are in the Library.
