§ Mrs. MahonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage proportion of(a) a weekly income of £814.56, and (b) a single basic state weekly pension of £41.15 would have to be used in order to pay for an eye test from 1 April.
§ Mr. Mellor[holding answer 13 March 1989]: The question gives insufficient information about the personal circumstances of the individual concerned to allow me to answer. Furthermore, questions as to whether there will be or will not be an eye test charge will be determined by the retailer. It is possible no charge may be made at all.
