asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Wood Green on 5 April, Official Report, c. 251, whether he will make the numbered decisions of the social security commissioners available to periodicals, journals and individuals offering to meet reasonable expenses thereby incurred; and whether he is satisfied with the arrangements currently existing.

I shall consider the arrangements for the distribution of numbered decisions when the chief commissioner has completed his consideration of the broad question of the reporting of commissioners' decisions.
