HC Deb 18 June 1996 vol 279 c413W
Mr. Chris Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the current limit on payment by the social fund of funeral grants; and what plans he has to change this limit. [30396]

Mr. Roger Evans

Like other social fund payments, funeral payments are not subject to annual uprating. However, we keep the level of all social fund payments under review.
