§ 18. Lady Gammansasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will now include sufferers from multiple sclerosis in the categories of those eligible for post-war credits, in view of the short span of life left to many of them.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydI will bear my hon. Friend's proposals in mind but I am bound to say that there would be serious practical difficulties in doing as she suggests.
§ Lady GammansI thank my right hon. and learned Friend for that reply. Will he continue to bear in mind that it is now, and not at some time in the future, that these unfortunate people need their post-war credits?
§ Mr. LloydI have very much sympathy with the point of view of my hon. Friend. The difficulty is that of singling out sufferers from one particular disease. That is the trouble.
