Mr. Carter-Jones
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will repeat the advice given to local authorities by the previous Government against reducing or withdrawing a service provided under section 2 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 in the absence of any diminution of need; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Prentice
No. I have no reason to conclude that this is necessary.
