HC Deb 28 March 1968 vol 761 cc309-10W
45. Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will issue a further circular to the London Boroughs Management Service Unit and all local authorities advising them to refrain from attempting to introduce organisational changes in their social welfare schemes, prior to the implementation of the findings of the Seebohm Committee.

Mr. Callaghan

I do not think a circular is required but I take the opportunity of saying that it must be obvious that it would be unwise for authorities to make any changes in the organisation of the local authority personal social services which prejudice the outcome of the Seebohm Committee's review of that very question.
