79. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Health if he has given consideration to the findings of the Cope Committee; and if he is now prepared to make a statement on them.

Mr. Marquand

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply on 1st February to my hon. Friend the Member for Reading, South (Mr. Mikardo). I am studying the reports of all the eight Cope Committees, but I shall not be ready to make a statement for some weeks yet.
