Mr. van Straubenzee

The letter to my right hon. Friend from the General Secretary of the British Association of Social Workers, which was copied to all hon. Members, reached her on 30th June. It included a number of criticisms of the Bill which received its Third Reading in this House yesterday. My right hon. Friend has replied explaining the Bill's provisions against the background of the Government's broad plans for establishing more sensible policies in public expenditure.
