Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many times the research liaison group for the physically handicapped has met in the last two years; and when it is next expected to meet.

Mr. Prentice

In 1978 and 1979 there were three meetings of the physical disablement research liaison group. Its subgroups on, respectively, aids and mobility, the general classes, hearing impairment, rehabilitation, and visual impairment, which were attended by external scientific advisers, also met on a number of occasions. The next meeting of the full group will be on 13 February.
