I have no plans for any formal inquiry. However, in the development of the community services and, in particular, of services for deprived children, I have the problem very much in mind.
Does the Parliamentary Secretary propose to take any action on this matter apart from just keeping it in mind?
When I say that I have it very much in mind that means I am considering it at the moment.
When might the Parliamentary Secretary give us some information on this matter?
As soon as I can sensibly and reasonably do so.
