HC Deb 24 October 1979 vol 972 c184W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received on behalf of the Caledonian Retirement Homes Association Limited; what was the nature of all such approaches; and what was the response to these approaches and the reasons given.

Mr. Fairgrieve

The association approached by hon. Friend the Minister responsible for home affairs and the environment with a request for a meeting to discuss the provision of accommodation for the elderly in Scotland, but because of his other commitments he was not able to meet this request. The association was however offered a meeting with Scottish Office officials, and this has been arranged for Monday 29 October.
