HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 cc285-6W
Mr. Donald Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many motor cars were adapted in 1968 for the use of, and supplied to, handicapped persons; and how many he estimates will be made available in 1969.

Dr. Dunwoody

1,711 motor cars were supplied in 1968, this figure being in- flated by the extension of eligibility in 1967. Of these about three-quarters were adapted. In 1969 we expect to supply about 1,550 cars, of which a similar proportion will be adapted.
