Mr Major’s Written Parliamentary Answer on Old Persons’ Homes – 12 May 1986

Below is the text of Mr Major’s written Parliamentary Answer on Old Persons’ Homes on 12th May 1986.


Mr. Park Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the total annual sum paid each year since 1980 to claimants in respect of residence and maintenance in old persons’ homes in Coventry.

Mr. Major I regret that this information is not readily available and could be obtained only by a special exercise which would be disproportionately expensive.
