HC Deb 03 August 1971 vol 822 c258W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek to ensure that the Finer Committee set up in October, 1969 will finalise and issue its report at the earliest opportunity, having regard to the need for urgent action to relieve the plight of one-parent and deserted families.

Mr. Dean

I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, North-East (Mrs. Renée Short) on Monday, 26th April. I am in no doubt of the committee's determination to complete their work as soon as possible.—[Vol. 816, c.43.]
