HC Deb 07 February 1978 vol 943 cc526-7W
27. Mr. Blaker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many representations he has received to date against the rule which deprives certain people of their entitlement to invalid vehicles and mobility allowance on reaching retirement age.

Mr. Alfred Morris

I have received representations about some 20 cases. The mobility allowance question is raised frequently by hon. Members and interested organisations, and is one which I have very much in mind.

54. Mr. Durant

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what recent representations he has received concerning the phasing-in of the mobility allowance.

Mr. Alfred Morris

This is frequently the subject of correspondence from hon. Members, interested organisations and individuals. The Government are pressing ahead with the arrangements as fast as the available resources and other priorities allow.
