HC Deb 17 January 1978 vol 942 cc161-2W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the situation arising from the recent decision of the Chancery Division barring a woman from giving a child-minding service in her own home.

Mr. Ennals

My understanding is that the decision referred to related to the par ticular circumstances of an individual case. I do not consider, on the basis of the information at present available to me, that the decision raises issues requiring intervention by my Department at present. I will, however, keep the matter under review.
