HC Deb 24 February 1971 vol 812 c131W
29. Mr. Buchanan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will institute a check to ensure that all local authority social work services are adequate to meet the demands of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, 1970.

Mr. Edward Taylor

This is not necessary, because the Act in Scotland does not add significantly to the demands for social work services under the Social Work (Scotland) Act, 1968.

33. Mr. McCartney

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what date he has in mind on which to make operative Section 1 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, 1970.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The Section does not extend to Scotland.

Mr. McElhone

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much his Department will be spending this year on research and development to assist in the mobility and independence of disabled persons under Section 22 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, 1970.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

About £55,000 in the financial year 1970–71.
