§ Mr. Ledgerasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the recovery of those crippled in accidents or by disease is impeded by the enforcement of the rule prohibiting the issue of a car if there is no garage for it to be kept in, in respect of those who apply for a free three-wheeled invalid car under the 163W National Health Service; and if he will take action to remedy this position.
§ Mr. BraineNo. A motor tricycle may be supplied before a garage is available if it is urgently required and if parking facilities exist.
§ Mr. Ledgerasked the Minister of Health how many disabled men and women are at present staying in rehabilitation centres because homes with garages cannot be found for them.
§ Mr. BraineI know of none but if the hon. Member has any particular case in mind. I will gladly make inquiries.
