HC Deb 29 June 1976 vol 914 cc129-30W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when the first meeting of the working party under the chairmanship of Lord Snowdon on disabled persons was held; how many times it has met; when he expects to receive a report; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alfred Morris

The Working Party on Integration of the Disabled is an independent body under the chairmanship of Lord Snowdon and financed by the National Fund for Research into Crippling Diseases. The first meeting was held on 23rd October 1974 and I understand that 82 meetings have now been held. The final report is expected in the early autumn. I have a close interest in the work of the Committee and will carefully study its report when this is available.
