HC Deb 09 February 1970 vol 795 c240W
50. Mr. Maddan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the number and total cost of wigs issued under the National Health Service; and whether he will make now a charge for wigs supplied.

Dr. John Dunwoody

Last year 23,000 wigs were supplied costing somewhat less than £1 million, including cleaning. I do not consider that a charge would be desirable.
