§ Mr. Alec Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many physically handicapped people have been registered in Wales under Section 1 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasI refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 2nd August 1972—[Vol. 842, c. 161.]
I hope it will soon be possible to give a more up to date figure based on returns 272W for the year ended 31st March 1973, which are now being received from local authorities. I will write to the hon. Member when the information is available.
