Proceeding contribution from Andrew Selous (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.


Social Security

Before we move off the issue of call centres, may I point out that some of the most vulnerable people who will be affected by the benefits uprated in this order have to approach the social fund, and its telephone service is a lot worse than that in other parts of the Department? Will the Minister look into that with her colleagues, and ask the relevant Minister to write to me on that specific point?
