HC Deb 18 January 1977 vol 924 c155W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the Royal Commissions which in the last 25 years have made recommendations relevant to his Department or its predecessors; and if he will list the relevant recommendations for each Royal Commission, stating how many were eventually accepted and implemented.

Mr. Ennals

In the last 25 years the reports of at least 14 Royal Commissions have had implications for this Department or its predecessors. More detailed information could be compiled only at disproportionate cost to public funds.
