HC Deb 15 April 1975 vol 890 c81W
38. Mr. Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will seek to amend the existing regulations relating to cars for the disabled, to enable such vehicles to be provided where an eligible disabled person who is able to drive is living with a partially-sighted relative.

Mr. Alec Jones

The Government's policy is not to extend the provision of cars in place of three-wheelers. Instead we are introducing a cash mobility allowance, for drivers and non-drivers alike, which will help severely disabled people to arrange transport suited to their mobility needs and individual circumstances.
