HC Deb 03 November 1983 vol 47 c464W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will make a statement about his plans for the future of the Department of Health and Social Security resettlement units and re-establishment centres; and whether he will publish a consultative paper on this matter before final decisions are taken.

Dr. Boyson

We are still considering whether and if so what changes should be made in the provision of resettlement units and re-establishment centres. A decision whether to publish a consultative document will be taken when this consideration has been completed.
