HC Deb 24 May 1973 vol 857 c126W
Mr. Haselhurst

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress has been made in his study of the range of alarm systems suitable for installation in old persons' dwellings; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

I am informed by the National Corporation for the Care of Old People that it is now considering an interim report on the first stage of the evaluative research on emergency alarm devices being undertaken on its behalf by the Loughborough Institute for Consumer Ergonomics. I await the outcome with interest.
