HC Deb 22 March 1974 vol 870 c212W
Mr. Wells

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is her policy on prescription charges for pupils in their final compulsory year at school.

Dr. Owen

As my right hon. Friend told the House on 15th March during the debate on the Address—[Vol 870, c. 530.]—she is considering whether it is possible to remove some anomalies in the present charging arrangements which have caused particular concern, and an announcement will be made as soon as possible.
