HC Deb 21 April 1982 vol 22 c103W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, further to the Minister for Social Security's reply to the hon. Member for Eccles on 26 February, Official Report, c. 519–20, whether his Department will draft and make publicly available the broader and more comprehensive leaflet that the Minister for Social Security said he would prefer; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rossi

Previous experience of leaflets of this sort has not shown their production to be a cost-effective way of using limited Departmental resources. The hon. Member's question on 26 February related to the production of leaflets by the disability studies unit. If that organisation, or any similar body, wished to produce a leaflet I should be willing to consider making it widely known and available to disabled people.
