HC Deb 03 May 1971 vol 816 cc293-4W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the Government's social survey is now complete; when it will be published; and if he will make a statement.

Sir K. Joseph

The report on the survey of the Handicapped and Impaired in Great Britain will be published tomorrow and copies are being sent to local authorities. I have already arranged to begin discussing the report's implications with pects information to be available as to the number of persons below retirement age receiving treatment in geriatric hospitals; and what form such information will take.

Mr. Alison

I would refer the hon. and learned Member to the first part of my reply to him on 22nd April. The information to be provided will give full relevant details.—[Vol. 815, c.448.]
