HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 c19W
74. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in view of the fact that the Greater London Council boroughs are unaffected by the Radcliffe-Maud Report, if he will issue a circular advising them that the local social services should be reorganised in line with the Seebohm Report.

Mr. Crossman

Decisions on the Seebohm Report cannot be taken without looking beyond Greater London. The Government will reach and announce their decisions as soon as possible, and meanwhile I again endorse the view that no action should be taken by local authorities that might subsequently prove to be incompatible with those decisions.
