HC Deb 26 July 1968 vol 769 c242W
Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider making adapted small cars available for use by invalids instead of specialist motorised invalid tricycles, at least in the case of all married drivers eligible for invalid motorised transport.

Mr. K. Robinson

A considerable proportion of three-wheeler users are mar-riend and I cannot promise a development along the lines proposed.

Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied that the cost of purchasing and maintaining single person motorised invalid tricycles is less than the cost of purchasing, adapting and maintaining the least expensive mass-produced motor car; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. K. Robinson

Yes. I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the Member for Uxbridge on 20th June.— [Vol. 766, c.173.]
