HC Deb 19 June 2000 vol 352 c82W
35. Dr. Naysmith

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what steps he is taking to improve the ways in which the Benefits Agency communicates with the public.[124983]

Angela Eagle

Much has already been done to improve communications—but there remains much more to do.

We are improving the way we notify and explain decisions to people. We have re-designed leaflets around age groups and life events instead of benefits, making them simpler and easier to follow. A similar structure is planned for our website.
