HC Deb 08 May 1980 vol 984 cc211-3W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish a table showing progress since 1971 towards the objectives of the White Paper " Better Services for the Mentally Handicapped " for places in adult training centres, giving statistics for each county in England.

Sir George Young

At 31 March 1979, there were 41,614 adult training centre places in England or about 90 places per 100,000 population compared with 25,461 places or about 56 places per 100,000 population on 30 December 1970. As local government was reorganised in 1974 it is not possible to provide comparable figures by county, but the following table gives figures for each local social services authority (non-metropolitan counties, metropolitan districts and London boroughs) as at 31 March 1979.
