§ 76. Sir J. Smythasked the Minister of Health when he will be in a position to make a statement on the provision of more suitable invalid motor vehicles for the disabled.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland and I have decided to implement the promise to provide more suitable vehicles by providing small cars for those war pensioners disabled in the service of their country who are eligible for Government power-propelled tricycles. We propose to offer the additional cars first to those war pensioners who are most severely disabled. It will necessarily be some months before cars begin to be available for issue, and it will take about two years to supply all the cars which will be needed. We hope that war pensioners who have Government power-propelled tricycles and wish them to be exchanged will await the notification which will be made to them by our Departments.
