HC Deb 11 March 1920 vol 126 c1495
1. Mr. G. TERRELL

asked the Minister of Pensions the cost of the Government artificial leg for Symes' amputation, as manufactured in the Munitions Inventions Department, Imber Court, and how this cost compares with that of British limb-makers?

The MINISTER of PENSIONS (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

A limb for the Symes' amputation has been manufactured experimentally in the Government workshop, but no decision has been reached as to its adoption, and no comparison can be made between the cost of its manufacture and the prices paid for similar limbs to private firms.
