§ 88. Captain Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Health whether he will issue regulations enabling a disabled person who is at present issued with a motor tricycle by the State plus a petrol allowance to use, instead, his own vehicle with a similar allowance of petrol.
§ Mr. VosperIf a disabled person who is eligible for a Ministry tricycle wishes to use one which he has bought privately I am prepared to consider maintaining it at Government expense, and when private tricycles are so maintained the allowance for petrol duty is made. But the arrangements for petrol duty allowances are not extended to cars bought privately, unless the owners are eligible for Ministry cars under the war pensioners car scheme.
