§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. Tomlinson)In reply to the first part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Rotherham (Mr. Dobbie) on 22nd January.

There is close consultation with the various Departments interested in the working of the scheme.
