§ Mr. Powellasked the Secretary of State for Social Services which were the four local authority areas in which the March/April survey of use of maternity services by immigrants was not carried out as originally intended.
§ Mr. CrossmanThe London boroughs of Greenwich, Harrow, Merton and Redbridge. The intention was to collect information from all the 58 authorities receiving grants from my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary under Section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966. The four authorities were left out by a clerical error and the right hon. Member was so informed when he was sent a list he had requested of the authorities that had taken part in the survey. It so happens that the four authorities omitted had a smaller proportion of immigrant children in their schools, than most others on the list.
