HC Deb 24 July 1989 vol 157 cc562-3W
Mr. Hannam

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will announce the proposed timetable for the disability benefits review; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if, following the publication of the final Office of Population Censuses and Surveys report he will make a statement on(a) the timescale for a review of the conclusions, (b) the terms of reference of such a review body and (c) the likely membership of the review team.

Mr. Nicholas Scott

The sixth and final OPCS report on disability in Great Britain was published on 17 July. This marks the point at which both the Government and organisations of and for disabled people can begin to look at the survey findings in the round. Once we have done so, I hope to be able to announce a timetable for further action.
