HC Deb 02 December 1985 vol 88 cc145-7W
Mr. Bermingham

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list all publications produced to date by the personal social services research unit in Kent.

Mr. Whitney

The personal social services research unit, which is funded by this Department, produces its own series of discussion papers. Some of these papers are intended mainly for internal use, some are circulated more widely and some are published as priced documents. Some of the discussion papers or extracts from them are published elsewhere as articles, monographs or books. Since its inception in 1974 the unit has produced more than 400 papers in this series. The Department does not keep a complete list of these publications. The list which is immediately available is as follows. I will let the hon. Member have a further reply as soon as I receive a complete list from the unit.Kent University—Personal Social Services Research Unit Bebbington, A. C. and Davies, B.
