§ Mr. Awdryasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will extend the private car allowance for disabled persons to the cars owned by the husbands or wives of disabled persons in cases where such cars are used or are modified for use by their disabled spouses.
§ Mr. AlisonNo. The allowance recently introduced by my right hon. Friend is intended to assist in running a vehicle provided privately by a disabled person as an alternative to the one which could otherwise have been issued. So long as it is registered and insured in the name of such a person with a full licence to drive it, the method of acquisition is immaterial.
