§ 26. Sir Patrick Hannonasked the Minister of Pensions if he will state the number of motor cars provided for seriously disabled pensioners which have been allotted to Birmingham; and how many are being made available for the Haig Homes, Moseley.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Pensions (Mr. Simmons)Thirty-two eligible pensioners are at present living in Birmingham and 22 of them have already received cars. One eligible pensioner lives in the Haig Homes and he will shortly be provided with a car.
§ Sir P. HannonIs the hon. Gentleman satisfied that Birmingham is getting its. appropriate allocation of these cars for disabled men?
§ Mr. SimmonsCertainly. The cars, are given according to categories of disablement and our records show that on these standards 32 pensioners in Birmingham are eligible, of whom 22 have already been supplied, which I think is rather a good record.
