asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what reply she has sent to Mr. Roy Stokes of 66 Newtown Road, Eastleigh, Hants, in answer to his petition of 1st February concerning his vaccine-damaged son, Keith.

Mr. Stokes' petition, which raises a number of points on medical and legal matters, reached me only last week. I have not yet had an opportunity to reply, but will send the hon. Member a copy of the letter I hope to send within the next few days.
