§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what study his Department has made of the volume of evidence submitted to the Snowdon working party on the integration of the disabled which has recently been published by the National Fund for Research into Crippling Diseases; what action he intends to take; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HeseltineI have only just received the volume of evidence which I618W will study with interest. I am encouraged, however, to see from the introductory remarks that the working party indicates that there has been a marked increase in the awareness of the housing needs of handicapped people.
