HC Deb 18 March 1974 vol 870 c52W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will arrange for a survey to be made of the incidence of poverty in the constituency of Hands-worth.

Mr. O'Malley

I have no plans to carry out research confined to particular geographical areas. The Government's priorities for the protection of pensioners, the lower paid and disadvantaged will apply to those in Handsworth and throughout the community.
