§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) if he will make a statement on the Government's intentions towards the recommendations of the Court Report following his consideration of the comments he has received from interested organisations;
(2) if he has anything to add to the replies to the hon. Member for Eccles on Friday 14th January 1977 and Monday 7th February 1977 concerning the recommendations of the Court Report, following his consultations with interested organisations.
§ Mr. EnnalsThe great majority of comments have been received only during the last few weeks and have yet to be considered in detail. Replies are still awaited from a number of bodies which were specifically invited to comment. I hope to make an announcement about the Government's position in the autumn.
