HC Deb 06 April 1984 vol 57 c691W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has received any representations on his Department's circular, "Helping Mentally Handicapped People with Special Problems"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

Publication of the report issued with the circular has been generally welcomed. I expect a more detailed response when those concerned have had time to study it.
