§ 21. Mr. Liddallasked the Minister of Pensions whether, in view of the inaccessibility of Roehampton, he will consider having a fitting and refitting centre for artificial limbs situated in some suitable place in central London reasonably adjacent by tube or omnibus to the six main-line railway stations, thus saving the time of those having to attend and for the convenience of their employees as well.
§ The Minister of Pensions (Sir Walter Womersley)The hon. Member's suggestion, whilst it would meet certain criticisms which have been made, would give rise to difficulties, particularly at the present time. I will, however, bear it in mind, but before reaching any final conclusion I should prefer to await the report of the Committee on Artificial Limbs under the Chairmanship of Sir Brunei Cohen.
