HC Deb 16 December 1980 vol 996 c80W
56. Mr. Ennals

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has yet replied to the offer made by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations to print the Black report, so far only available from his Department in mimeographed form; if so, what reply he has given; and if not, what is the reason for the delay.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

The National Council for Voluntary Organisations has not made any formal offer to my Department to publish this report. The council's imprint, the Bedford Square Press, has expressed some interest in publishing an abridged version and has had preliminary discussions with my Department about copyright and other matters, but has not made any firm proposals.
