HC Deb 21 February 1973 vol 851 c115W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has studied the report "Guide-lines for the Future in the Field of Vocational Rehabilitation" presented by the 12th World Congress on Rehabilitation; what discussions he has had with organisations associated with rehabilitation on the report; if he will consider legislation along some of the lines suggested by the report; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dudley Smith

My Department was consulted about the preparation of a draft of these guidelines prior to its submission to the 12th World Congress, but I understand that the report containing the approved guidelines is not yet available in this country. When the report is available my right hon. Friend will be able to consider whether any further action is required.
