HC Deb 29 November 1985 vol 87 c712W
Mr. Frank Field

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will place in the Library a copy of the letter from the chairman of the Social Security Advisory Committee on the absence of consultation by the Government of the committee on the original board and lodging regulations.

Mr. Newton

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the affidavit sworn by Mr. Barclay, chairman of the Social Security Advisory Committee, which was before the court in the case of R v Secretary of State for Social Services ex parte Cotton. I will place a copy of this affidavit in the Library of the House once court proceedings in this case have been concluded.
