asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report a summary of his response to the hon. Member for Romsey and Waterside regarding the social security case of Mr. J. Broad of Wenda, 5 Graemar cottages, Sherfield English, Romsey, Hampshire.

I have received a letter from Mr. Broad, and a copy of his letter from my hon. Friend. A reply will be sent shortly and I shall arrange for a copy to be sent to my hon. Friend. It is not the Department's practice to make public details relating to an individual's claim for benefit.
