HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 cc11-2W
62. Mr. G. Johnson Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the action he is taking as a result of the petition and letter issued by the Committee for Ideals in Mental Practices, a copy of which has been sent him.

Mr. Crossman

Since the wording of the letter suggests that the committee may be connected with scientology, I am sending the letter and petition to the hon. and learned Member for Northwich (Sir J. Foster), who, as I told the House on 27th January, is carrying out an inquiry into the practice and effects of scientology.
