§ 103. Mr. McKayasked the Minister of Pensions if he will reconsider his refusal to give to Major R. B. W. Bolland, of 7, The Drive, Gosforth, Newcastle, the maintenance grant of £45 or a smaller grant, seeing that he is in the fourth class of pensioners, who through amputation and other disabilities arising from war injuries needs motor transport in order to obtain or retain employment, as was admitted in his letter dated 18th August, 1949, to the hon. Member for Wallsend; and if he will make such grant apply to all similar cases, where the applicants 71W have as Major Bolland has, bought their own cars to enable them to obtain and retain employment, and are in the same medical category.
§ Mr. MarquandI shall be able to provide motor cars only for those pensioners who are within the first three classes which I described in the House on 27th July last year. Major Bolland is not within these classes and I am unable to grant him an upkeep allowance as though he were.
