HC Deb 03 December 1959 vol 614 c161W
Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that two members of the staff of the University of Cape Town have invented an artificial leg designed to enable its wearer to walk with a normal gait; and if he will seek information as to its cost and availability.

Miss Pitt

I understand that an artificial limb which is claimed to have this effect has been manufactured in South Africa. Technical details have not yet been made available, but my right hon. and learned Friend is seeking such information as can be obtained.
