HC Deb 06 November 1974 vol 880 c173W
Mr. Grieve

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the West Midlands Metropolitan Council probation and after-care service may expect the Home Office's decision on the setting up of district committees for the seven metropolitan districts within its authority.

Dr. Summerskill

This matter involves a number of difficult issues which are still being considered in consultation with the West Midlands Probation and After-Care Committee. I am unable at present to say when a decision will be reached.
