HC Deb 23 July 1980 vol 989 c285W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consideration he has given to the paper "Services for Mentally Handicapped People: Unfinished Business", submitted to him by the National Development Group for the Mentally Handicapped before he disbanded the group; if he will summarise the findings of the paper; what action he is taking; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

As both the paper concerned and my reply were given fairly wide publication, I have placed copies of both in the Library of the House. As regards training for the care of the mentally handicapped, I refer the right hon. Gentleman to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Derbyshire, West (Mr. Parris) on 22 July.
