Mr. Alfred Morris
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the extension of administrative powers to two members of the public in Oxford is the result of staff shortages within his Department; whether he intends to extend the scheme elsewhere and in other areas of his Department's responsibilities; if he will give details of the cost savings involved; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Newton
Administrative powers have not been extended to any member of the public in Oxford.
