HC Deb 11 November 1948 vol 457 c195W
21. Mr. C. Smith

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to provide spectacles with plastic or other unsplinterable lenses under the National Health Service either for all who prefer them or for any special categories of users.

Mr. Bevan

I am considering whether it is possible to supply unsplinterable lenses under the National Health Service and, if so, what conditions should apply.
