HC Deb 06 April 1970 vol 799 cc35-6W
Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many people in Wales benefit from the meals-on-wheels service at the latest convenient date; and how many so benefited in 1964.

Mr. George Thomas

Comparative figures are not available prior to 1967. The relevant statistics record the number of people who received meals at home during one week. In the 7 days from 3rd to 9th November, 1969, 8,560 people received meals at home. For a similar week in November 1967 the figure was 7,018.
