Proposal to second an expert in social welfare matters
5. I am pleased that this is going ahead. I note, however, that Mr Heppell is an expert in social welfare and not social security matters and that the terms of reference of the review in which he
will be taking part appear to be confined to short terms amendments to your public assistance scheme rather than to consideration of any longer term rearrangements in the fields both of social security and
social welfare.
Secondary education (Defensive)
6. I should be interested to know whether your plans have been made to cover the short fall in secondary education places that you
told about in December.
