HC Deb 23 February 1999 vol 326 c264W
Mr. Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will place the responses to the Green Paper "A New Contract for Welfare" in the Library. [71101]

Mr. Darling

Lists of those organisations and academics who responded to our consultation papers, excluding those who requested confidentiality, have been placed in the House Library. Copies of their responses are available on request from the Department.

The Library advises that it is not standard procedure for them to hold such responses. The Department will willingly make them available should the Library request copies. I am also today placing copies in the Library of summaries of the responses received to "New ambitions for our country: A New Contract for Welfare" (Cm 3805), "A new contract for welfare: Support for Disabled People" (Cm 4103) and "A new contract for welfare: Support in Bereavement" (Cm 4104).
