HC Deb 26 May 1949 vol 465 c108W
85. Mr. Manningham-Buller

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will give an estimate of the number of disabled British ex-Service men who would be entitled to a free motor car but for the fact that they were disabled while serving with the Indian Armed Forces.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

According to the last available estimate there are about 55 British ex-Service men of the Indian Forces who might have a claim for a free motor car, by reason of the fact that they were disabled while serving with the Indian Armed Forces.

86. Mr. Manningham-Buller

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he has yet received the decision of the Government of India as to the issue of free motor cars to disabled British ex-Service men whose disabilities are such as to qualify them for the supply of a free motor car under the scheme now in force; and what that decision is.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

No, I have not yet received the decision of the Government of India.
