HC Deb 10 February 1981 vol 998 c314W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Social Services when the amendments to regulations 2 and 21 of the Boarding out of Children Regulations 1955, indicated in his answer to the hon. Member for Goole on 3 February, will take effect.

Sir George Young

Allowing for consultation, printing and laying of the statutory instrument, I hope it will be possible for the amending regulations to take effect early in May.
