HC Deb 19 July 1956 vol 556 cc112-3W
97. Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the basic retail price, without Purchase Tax, of two types of two-seater three-wheeler petrol-driven cars is less than the basic retail prices, without Purchase Tax, of at least two single-seater invalid carriages, namely, No. 52 and No. 55, supplied by his Department; and what consideration has been given to the advantages of providing two-seater vehicles in future for disabled people, in view of this fact.

Mr. Turton

Yes, but the two-seaters now on the market are not designed for use by disabled persons. I am reviewing this matter at the present time.
