HC Deb 23 October 1979 vol 972 c160W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many disabled people in the Burton constituency will benefit from his decision to extend to 64 years the age limit for mobility allowance.

Mr. Prentice

I regret that there is no way of estimating how many disabled people in the Burton constituency are likely to receive mobility allowance as a result of the recent extension of the age limits, but the national total is expected to be about 30,000.
