HC Deb 22 June 1959 vol 607 c92W
76. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Health whether he will include plastic frames for spectacles within the standard range for children in addition to the present range of metal frames.

Mr. R. Thompson

My right hon. and learned Friend has been advised by his Standing Ophthalmic Advisory Committee that the current free range, as recently improved by the addition of a specially designed new type, is satisfactory in appearance and wear and has advantages in fitting. He is, however, keeping the position under review.
