§ LORD AMULREE had given notice of his intention to draw the attention of Her Majesty's Government to defects in the care and after-care service for the sick, especially the elderly sick, in the London area; and to move for Papers. The noble Lord said: My Lords, in view of the time, and after consultation with Her Majesty's Government, I do not propose now to move the Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.
THE EARL OF ONSLOWMy Lords, before we adjourn, I should like to thank the noble Lord, Lord Amulree, for adjourning this debate. I am sorry that we did not have the time. The noble Lord has been courteous enough to send me a letter setting out fully the matters he had intended to raise, and I assure 661 him that I will write to him in reply to his letter, doing my best to answer him in writing what I would have answered from this Box. If the noble Lord wishes to raise the matter again when we come back after the Recess, I shall be pleased.
§ LORD AMULREEMy Lords, I thank the noble Earl for his reply.
