HC Deb 24 March 1976 vol 908 cc193-4W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is her policy towards an extension of the meals-on-wheels service such as that proposed by the Department of Design Research at the Royal College of Art for the National Fund for Research in Crippling Diseases; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Meacher

My Department plans to sponsor research into alternative ways of developing meals on wheels services. It is envisaged that this will include an evaluation of a pattern of provision similar to that suggested in the Royal College of Art report.
