HC Deb 11 June 1971 vol 818 cc379-80W

If you lose or break your glasses, you may have to pay up to the full cost of repair or replacement. The amount will depend on whether or not the glasses were lost or broken through lack of care. The Executive Council has power to help with the charges on hardship grounds and in such a case your optician will advise you about the procedure to be followed.
You will be liable to pay the optician's own charge for any repairs or replacements carried out as a private transaction.
Yours faithfully,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
