§ 40. Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he 60W will undertake in future to produce the annual report required by Section 22 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act in a form more readily understood by the layman; and if he will seek to provide illustrations where possible for the guidance of the disabled, their representative organisations, and everyone else directly concerned with aiding the disabled.
§ Mr. AlisonWe will bear in mind the interest of lay readers, so far as this is consonant with scientific precision, but illustration is difficult, not least because of the changing character of equipment during a research programme.
§ 54. Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many local authorities have conducted a sample survey of the number of chronically sick and disabled in their areas.
§ Mr. AlisonMy right hon. Friend has asked local authorities to report to him in the spring on their progress in implementing Section 1 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act. Until these reports are received I cannot say which authorities have carried out sample surveys.
