HC Deb 08 July 1982 vol 27 cc191-2W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when the final report on the Social Science Research Council/Department of Health and Social Security programme of research into transmitted deprivation will be published.

Mr. Fowler

The final report on the SSRC/DHSS programme entitled "Despite the Welfare State" by Dr. Muriel Brown and Dr. Nicola Madge will be published on Monday 12 July 1982 by Heinemann Educational Books. This book presents the finding of a large-scale research programme into the origin, nature and extent of deprivation and disadvantage in this country. The book relates the research findings to current social policy and practice and points to lessons for the future. It will, I hope, promote informed discussion and debate on a range of subjects of great public concern.
