§ 36. Mr. David Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will list the current members of the Advisory Council on Child Care; and whether their appointment will be extended beyond October 1981, in view of his intention to wind up the children's committee.
§ 37. Mr. Fosterasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what arrangements will be made to continue the Advisory Council on Child Care following the abolition of the children's committee.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinThe Advisory Council on Child Care has been in abeyance since the Personal Social Services Council, whose members were formally appointed to the advisory council, came to an end. When I announced the winding up of the Personal Social Services Council in 1979, I said that I would be proposing the repeal of the statutory provisions relating to the Advisory Council on Child Care. I still intend to do this at the earliest possible opportunity.
