§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services when she expects to receive the report from the department of social administration of Birmingham University into the methods adopted by the former local authorities in implementing Section 1(1) of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisAlthough I am doing what I can to expedite matters, I regret to have to inform my hon. Friend that production of the cross-tabulations which form an integral part of the report has been held up due to an industrial dispute involving computer operators. The report is not now expected until the autumn.
