HC Deb 25 October 1954 vol 531 cc236-7W
117. Mr. Crouch

asked the Minister of Health if he will issue tricycles for two persons to disabled persons.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I am not satisfied that the additional cost involved would be justified under present circumstances.

124. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Minister of Health the cause of the shortage of components for repairing disabled persons' electric tricycles; and what steps are being taken to overcome this shortage.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I understand that the delay has been due partly to the manufacturers of component parts and partly to the reorganisation of the maker's own works. It is however now expected that all outstanding orders will be met within three weeks.

125. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Minister of Health when Mr. G. Wild, of 230, Darnall Road, Sheffield, is likely to have his electric tricycle repaired.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I am informed that Mr. Wild's tricycle has now been repaired and it is being returned to him.
