§ Mr. Bishopasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how soon he expects to receive the report of the Finer Committee on one-parent families ; and how soon he expects to be able to publish his findings.
§ Sir K. JosephI understand that the report is very nearly ready and I expect to receive it within the next few weeks. Consideration of the recommendations, which I understand cover a wide field, will begin straight away, but I cannot at this stage say when this will be completed.
