HC Deb 25 April 1968 vol 763 c80W
Sir W. Bromley-Davenport

asked the Minister of Health in view of the fact that many disabled people eligible for Ministry of Health vehicles find them unsuitable for various reasons and could make use of ordinary motor vehicles or vans, in what circumstances he will arrange for such vehicles or vans to be made available to these disabled people at a reduced price.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have no powers at present to sell vehicles to disabled persons. Given the necessary powers which the Health Services and Public Health Bill is designed to provide, any extension of the present vehicle services for the disabled will be governed by prevailing economic conditions.
