§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what further representations he has received about the admission of disabled people to this year's Chelsea Flower Show; what further action he is taking; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossiNone. However, following my correspondence with the president of the Royal Horticultural Society, I understand that the society has now decided to make special arrangements to admit some 20 disabled members in wheelchairs to the show on the Monday. I am very glad that this has proved possible.
