asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will announce when the working party on the Gleaves case began its investigations: whether it has the power to call witnesses; and when she expects the group to report.

I would draw the hon. Member's attention to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford, South (Mr. Shaw) on 3rd February.—[Vol. 904, c. 527.]—The revised terms of reference of the Working Group on Homeless Young People, which held its first meeting on 29th September 1975, range very much wider than the Gleaves case alone. The working party does not examine witnesses but includes representatives of central and local government and the voluntary organisations working in this field. I expect the Group to report before very long.
