§ Mr. Cookasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the recent report on the review of the Camberwell resettlement centre; and what action has been taken since he received it.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe report is of an internal review which considered improvements that might be made in the services provided for the reduced number of men who will be using the centre from now until it closes in 1985. It was made on the understanding that it would not be published, but that I would make a statement in due course. The recommendations are under urgent consideration, but I cannot yet give details of our conclusions.
