HC Deb 11 June 1985 vol 80 c382W
Dr. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is planning to make any changes to the way in which he consults local government following the judgment in R. v. Secretary of State for Social Services; ex parte AMA.

Mr. Mellor

This was a case concerning housing benefit. We shall need to study the written judgment, which is not yet available, before we can decide what: the implications for the Department might be.
