HC Deb 21 April 1921 vol 140 cc2033-4
1. Major COHEN

asked the Minister of Pensions the price of the new Government light metal limb, both as supplied by Messrs. Vickers and also when completely fitted with bucket, etc.?

The MINISTER OF PENSIONS (Mr. Macpherson)

It would not be expedient at this stage to publish details of the contracts placed with the limbmakers in connection with the new light metal limb. I may, however, inform my hon. and gallant Friend that for the first issue of 500 the total cost per limb will not exceed £30. These limbs are, of course, provided free to the pensioner.
