HC Deb 29 July 1976 vol 916 cc335-7W
Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list all the reports published by the community development projects during their existence; and what action, if any, has been taken on each.

Mr. John

The projects individually and collectively have produced a large number of documents aimed at a wide variety of audiences. Those readily available are listed below.
