§ Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Minister of Health how many hand-operated tricycles are now on issue through the Welsh Board of Health.
§ Mr. Barber60 hand-propelled tricycles and 587 powered tricycles with hand-operated controls.
§ Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Minister of Health what is the current estimated additional capital and maintenance cost of replacing the power-operated tricycles now on issue, by two-seater cars.
§ Mr. BarberI regret that this information is not available. If the right hon. Member has in mind cars such as are issued to war pensioners—which are 4-seaters—the information requested would involve disclosing contract prices and it is contrary to Government practice to do so.
