HC Deb 07 April 1976 vol 909 cc205-6W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he is taking to improve the quality of the submissions by his Department to the annual reports pursuant to Section 22 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 concerning research and development work on equipment that might be of benefit to disabled people; and if he will ensure that possible spin-offs from technological advances are not overlooked.

Mr. William Ross

As my hon. Friend will know, this is a joint report by my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Social Services and for Wales and myself, and we keep under close review its general quality.

My right hon. Friends and I are also collaborating in trying to ensure that technological advances that might be of benefit to disabled people are brought to our attention.
