Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what changes will be made to the residence conditions for local authority welfare services in respect of citizens of other member states of the European Community following the completion of the internal market in 1992; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

No changes are proposed. EC citizens with the right of residence in the United Kingdom and who are ordinarily resident here will as now be eligible for local authority personal social services.
