§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider giving additional financial support and assistance in the development of the Edinburgh arm; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe present level of support is adequate to meet current development needs and all children in Scotland who need powered arms have been fitted. Further development will depend upon experience gained in the use of the latest version of the arm, fittings of which have commenced, and the level of support and assistance will be re-examined as necessary.
