HC Deb 19 July 1982 vol 28 c25W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the recommendations of the Finer committee on one-parent families which relate to the work of his Department showing whether the recommendation (a) has been implemented, (b) is under consideration or (c) was rejected.

Mr. Alison

The report of the Finer committee made six recommendations which are the responsibility of the Department of Employment. These are:

  • 178
  • 181
  • 182
  • 185
  • 186
  • 187

These have all been implemented. In addition, recommendation 179 and 180 touch on the work of the Department; however they are addressed to employers and unions, who therefore have the primary responsibility for their implementation.
