HC Deb 22 December 1981 vol 15 c375W
22. Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what response he has received to the consultation paper he has issued in connection with his policy to encourage voluntary effort in the social services.

Mrs. Chalker

It is too early yet to have received more than a handful of replies, but demand for copies of the consultation paper suggests that there is widespread interest in enabling unemployed people to contribute voluntary effort in the health and social services.
