§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales what financial assistance he proposes to give during the year 1979–80 towards the provision of a mobile toy library for handicapped children in Wales.
§ Mr. Barry JonesMy right hon. and learned Friend does not propose to make a specific grant for this purpose. I share the view that mobile toy libraries can provide useful practical support for many families with handicapped children. However, provision of this service is essentially for local initiative in the light of knowledge of local needs.
§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will take steps to enable the families of handicapped children to have available to them, as of right, the assistance of home help and sitter services.
§ Mr. Barry JonesThis is a matter for local authorities responsible for services of this kind.
