§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what further action has been taken regarding vaccine-damaged children; what additional representation she has received from the Association of Parents of Vaccine Damaged Children; and if she will make a statement.

Langford-Holt) and Rye (Mr. Irvine) on 12th November—[Vol. 881, c. 57–9.]—and to the hon. Member for Chislehurst (Mr. Sims) on 13th November.—[Vol. 881, c. 175.]
