HC Deb 01 April 1980 vol 982 cc140-1W
Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in view of the progress in planning a new detoxification unit in the Grampian region of Scotland, whether he will reconsider the Government's decision to opt out of the policy on detoxification centres for South-East London and the Leeds Detox.

Sir George Young

No. I see no reason to alter the decisions of the previous Administration on these two projects. A decision on the future policy on detoxification centres will follow the completion of the evaluation research programme now in hand.
