§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Minister of Pensions if, in view of the fact that some disabled ex-Service men are given a motorcar, free insurance and Road Fund cover and a grant towards upkeep, he will consider giving financial assistance towards running and maintenance to those disabled ex-Service men who possess their own motorcar.
§ Mr. MarquandSeriously disabled war pensioners within the classes eligible for supply of a Ministry car who have cars of their own may receive an annual grant of £45 towards running and maintenance costs in the same way as those who are provided with Ministry cars. A number of such grants are already in payment.
271WI cannot make grants for this purpose to disabled persons who are not within the categories described in my statement to the House on 27th July. 1948.
