§ Mr. McCrindleTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he expects to publish the Government-sponsored nationwide study of disabled people; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ScottThe results of the surveys of disability conducted by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys will be issued in a series of reports. The first report on the prevalence of disability among adults was published on 28 September 1988. The second report covering the financial circumstances of disabled adults living in private households will be published later this month.
A further four reports will be published over the next eight months. These will cover disabled adults' use of services (including those in communal establishments) and also providing the same general range of information about children.
