HC Deb 30 June 1977 vol 934 c299W
Mr. Arthur

Lewis asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why it took until 21st June to send a formal acknowledgment card to the letter sent to him by the hon. Member for Newham, North-West dated 2nd June 1977, Ref. P.O. (MIN-H) 1323/28, as this did not need any investigation or examination.

Mr. Moyle

My hon. Friend's letter was not received in my office until Friday 17th June. It is regretted that an acknowledgment card was not sent out on that day.
