§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has had following 211W his announcement that he proposes to reduce the size of the Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work on 12 December and from whom; and if he will make an up-to-date statement about the latest position.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinI have had one representation—from the British Association of Social Workers—doubting the case for, but not definitely opposing, a reduction in the council's size. As regards plans for legislation, I have nothing to add to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Peterborough (Dr. Mawhinney) on 23 January.—[Vol. 997, c.252.]
