HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 c587W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she has received a copy of the report "Planning to Help the Handicapped in Birmingham"; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Alfred Morris

Yes. I regard the report as a constructive way of following up the sample survey carried out by the Birmingham City Council in implementation of Section 1 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act and as providing useful proposals for assessing and planning to meet the needs of handicapped people.
