HC Deb 10 June 1975 vol 893 c148W
18. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans she has instructed her Department to draw up for cuts in social services.

Mrs. Castle

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to my reply to the hon. Member for Cornwall, North (Mr. Pardoe) on 29th April.—[Vol. 891, c.74–6.] I am still considering the content of the capital programmes for 1976–77, on which the bulk of the cuts fall.
