Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, 1970 (Section 3)

HC Deb 27 May 1971 vol 818 cc201-2W

Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress there has been to date in implementing Section 3 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, 1970; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

Local authorities have been submitting proposals for the provision of purpose-built dwellings for the disabled since Section 3(1) of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, 1970, came into force. They had, of course, been making such provision before the Act.
