HC Deb 20 February 1967 vol 741 c209W
83. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that Mr. Brian Shayer, a senior technician at the Queen Mary's College, has invented and produced a machine which will enable the crippled victims of thalidomide and others to climb stairs whilst seated in their invalid chair; and whether he will investigate to see to what extent his Department are able to offer financial and other assistance.

Mr. Snow

My right hon. Friend is aware of the work being done at Queen Mary's College and he is considering the question of financial assistance.
