§ Mr. RoweTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if she will place in the Library a list of consultees for the Welfare Reform Review. [38389]
§ Mr. FieldWe are encouraging the widest possible debate on how best to rebuild the welfare system so it is fit for the 21st century. The Green Paper, "New Ambitions for our Country: a new contract for welfare", which we published on 26 March, is the next stage on the road to reform and we are seeking views on its proposals from all sections of the community by 31 July 1998.
There is no narrow list of consultees, all views are welcome and to maximise this debate we have published a free summary version and made this and the full document accessible via the Internet (www.dss.gov.uk). Copies of both documents are also available on request in braille, audiocassette, Welsh and large print.
