§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what response he has now received from Liverpool city council concerning its proposals to fulfill its statutory duties under section 2 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act towards the disabled people whose need for a telephone has been accepted; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NewtonLast September, Liverpool city council met the Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation to discuss its complaint about telephone provision. I understand that it agreed that there should be a further meeting to discuss the situation this month. In the meantime, my right hon. Friend did not consider any further specific action necessary on his part. This view was shared by RADAR.
