asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will issue information to local Departments of Social Services of the action taken in the London Borough of Brent, to implement the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, Section 1, as outlined in the information sent to him by the hon. Member for Willesden, West.

We shall be receiving reports on this from all responsible local authorities in the spring and I do not think it would be appropriate to commend one particular approach before this information is available.
