HC Deb 20 February 1963 vol 672 c438
29. Mr. J. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many invalid tricycles are now on issue to paraplegic miners in Scotland; and how many are in the Midlothian area.

Mr. Brooman-White

This information is not available.

Mr. Hill

That is not a very satisfactory Answer. Does not the hon. Gentleman consider that the time has now arrived when these men who were broken in body in industry should have four-wheeled vehicles with two seats? Many of them are married men and require assistance, which is not possible in three-wheeled vehicles with only one seat. Many hon. Members on this side of the House think that the time is now appropriate to supply these men with four-wheeled instead of three-wheeled vehicles.

Mr. Brooman-White

That is a wider question than the one on the Order Paper.
