HC Deb 08 February 1977 vol 925 c620W
16. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the level of public expenditure on the social services.

Mr. Ennals

No, but I recognise the importance of other national priorities. The Government's views on the level of public expenditure are being set out in the White Paper on "The Government's Expenditure Plans" (Cmnd. 6721), the first part of which has been pjublished and the second part of which will follow shortly.
