asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Wolver-hampton, North-East on 17 March, if he has yet received the report of Sir Derek Rayner into his Department's activities in support of health care exports; and if so, if he will publish it.

I expect to receive a draft report in the near future, together with Sir Derek Rayner's comments. No decisions will be taken until those most affected by the report have been consulted.
