§ 24. Mr. Douglasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has had discussions with the chairman of the Committee on Restrictions Against Disabled People since the committee's report was published; and if he will make a statement on the discussions.
§ Mr. RossiNo, but I had a discussion with him about the report immediately before its publication. As I explained in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing, North (Mr. Greenway) on 26 May—[Vol. 24, c.344]—I have written to the chairman to give him the Government's first reactions to the report, I am now awaiting with interest the reactions to it of both disabled and non-disabled interests.
