Mr. Janner Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans his Department has to review the operation of the statutory sick pay scheme since April 1983 in the light of the criticisms contained in the new report published by the Disability Alliance ERA, Leicester Rights Centre and the Leicester city council low pay campaign, copies of which were sent to him; and whether he will make a statement.
