§ 43. Mr. Willisasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of all the results of the survey recently carried out in Edinburgh into the needs of pensioners; and whether he intends to ask other local authorities to carry out similar surveys.
§ Mr. NobleYes. I know about the Edinburgh survey and I have recently reminded local authorities of the importance of identifying the needs of old people. I think I should leave it to them to consider how this can best be done in their areas.
