HC Deb 17 January 1978 vol 942 cc164-5W
Mr. George

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many Acts of Parliament within his responsibility in the last three parliamentary Sessions have had clauses or sections not yet brought into force by appropriate commencement orders: and if he will list them.

Mr. Deakins

Four Acts of Parliament passed in the last three Sessions for which my right hon. Friend has responsibility include provisions which have not yet been brought into force. The provisions of these Acts are as follows:

to which his Department uses the Laboratory's services; and what proportion of samples sent to the Laboratory by his Department would continue to be sent there after the move to the new location has been effected.

Mr. Deakins

My Department was fully consulted on the proposed move and does not expect it to affect the extent to which it uses the services of the Laboratory.
