Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what information he has on the average cost of private sight tests.

The price of a private sight test is a matter for individual opticians. It is up to them to use their best commercial judgment and set their prices accordingly.

Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people annually he expects to qualify for help with the cost of a private sight test on the grounds of low income.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley
