§ 45. Mr. Rifkindasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she will consider ensuring the entitlement to a mobility allowance for those suffering from severe agoraphobia and who are dependent on their own transport to enable them to live a normal life.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisThe basis of the mobility allowance scheme, as of the vehicle service which in effect it now supersedes, is that entitlement depends on inability or virtual inability to walk because of physical disablement. We have no present plans for changing the medical criterion of the scheme.
