§ Mr. Andrew BowdenTo ask the Prime Minister what steps she takes to co-ordinate Government policy on aging and related issues.
§ The Prime MinisterElderly people, like all other groups in society, are affected by the policies of many different Government Departments. Consequently there are many occasions when policies cannot be made in isolation and Ministers and officials in different Government Departments consult each other as necessary. I am satisfied that these consultations permit issues to be dealt with speedily and effectively.
