HC Deb 15 January 1986 vol 89 c600W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, further to the answer of 13 November, Official Report, column 207–8, why the McColl committee report on services received by patients at artificial limb and appliance centres has not been published; when he expects to publish it; if he still intends to publish it in full and in the form in which it was submitted to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Newton

As I said in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for The Wrekin (Mr. Hawksley) on 19 December at column310, publication before the recess proved impracticable. Since originally submitting its report the working party has made a number of amendments which will be incorporated in the full text to be published shortly.
