asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will investigate the current availability of the leaflets detailed below; why the 1978 issue has already become unavailable; and if he will take steps to ensure a better supply pattern in future, of leaflets numbered SB 8, OC 2, M 11, H 11,MPL 151, NI 9, HB 1, CH 4, CH 11, FB 2, MV 1, NI 1 and NI 38.

I do not know of any problems on availability of the leaflets listed except for MV 1, where a new edition is due to appear next month. If the hon. Member can give me specific information about lack of availability, I shall put in hand an immediate investigation.
