§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services why there has been no reply to the letter 584W sent to him on 20 November 1984 by Mr. Ted Davis, chairman of the Talking Newspaper Association for the Blind of the United Kingdom; when he intends to reply; if he will publish the exchange of correspondence in the Official Report; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NewtonMr. Davis's letter contained a request for funding under section 64 of the Health Service and Public Health Act 1968 as from July 1985. I regret that it has taken longer to consider than I would have wished. I hope to write to Mr. Davis shortly and will arrange for a copy to be sent both to the right hon. Member and to my hon. Friend the Member for Wealden (Sir G. Johnson Smith) who has also written to me about this matter.
