§ Mr. Priorasked the Minister of Health what research is being carried out into new models of invalid cars; and what attention is being given to the substitution of light alloy for heavy metal in construction so as to make possible reductions in weight.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonMy Department does not undertake research into the design of motor cars. The design of invalid tricycles supplied by my Department is continually being reviewed in the light of experience; some development contracts have been placed and others are being considered. Light alloys are used wherever appropriate in these machines.
