Jenkin asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will place a copy of her consultation document on health exports in the Library of the House of Commons.

The document in question is the draft for a circular to NHS authorities. Such documents are sent to NHS management, the professions and the Staff Side as a basis for consultations and are not normally made generally available in draft form. However, on this occasion I have agreed to make it available to the House and have today placed a copy in the Library. The document may need to be revised on the light of the consultations taking place.
