HC Deb 19 May 1969 vol 784 cc5-6W
50. Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how soon after the publication of the report of the Royal Commission on Local Government he expects to make his statement on the Seebohm Report; and when this will be.

Mr. Crossman

I understand that the Royal Commission's Report will be published soon after Whitsun. I cannot yet say when this statement can be made.

Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent the implementation of the Seebohm Report will be contingent on decisions taken about the re-organisation of the National Health Service.

Mr. Crossman

Decisions in these two fields will not be taken without considering their relationship with each other.
