HC Deb 28 July 1949 vol 467 c166W
78. Mr. G. Porter

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will make similar arrangements with the British Railways, as is granted to the Service disabled, for invalids to have their invalid chairs carried free.

Mr. Callaghan

This is a matter for the British Transport Commission, to whom any representations should be made by interested associations or persons.

Mr. Drayson

asked the Minister of Transport if he will approach the British Transport Commission with a view to obtaining the same concession for civilian disabled as is granted to Service and ex-Service disabled persons in regard to the charges made for the transportation of invalid chairs.

Mr. Callaghan

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Central Leeds (Mr. G. Porter) today.
