HC Deb 18 March 1980 vol 981 cc143-4W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what arrangements have now been made for continuing certain parts of the work of the Personal Social Services Council; and how much it will cost.

Sir George Young

Discussions are well advanced on arrangements under which the joint committee for children, which at present has an administrative base in the personal social services council, would operate from the National Institute for Social Work. The cost of the committee would not be significantly affected by this change. Discussions are also taking place about the offer of employment to a small number of other council staff at the institute.
