asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans she has to make further alterations to the attendance allowance regulations; and if she will make a statement.

A number of minor amendments are under consideration, but I have no plans at present for making any major alterations to the attendance allowance regulations.

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will make a statement on the progress of the experimental review procedure of the Attendance Allowance Board, which was begun in January.

I understand that the trials in connection with the Attendance Allowance Board's experimental review procedure have been completed and that the results are now being evaluated. I will advise my hon. Friend of the outcome as soon as I can.
