HC Deb 04 November 1968 vol 772 c14W
61. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the nutrition survey being carried out by his Department; and when the survey will be published.

Mr. Snow

I assume the hon. Member has in mind the nutrition survey of the elderly This is being carried out under the guidance of an expert panel set up by the Department's Chief Medical Officer's Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy. It should be completed by the end of this year; the results must then be analysed in detail and publication is likely to be in the summer of 1970.
