HC Deb 25 May 1971 vol 818 cc53-4W
40. Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps he is taking to encourage the production of powered invalid vehicles able to be used with equal facility both indoors and outside.

Mr. Alison

Present research is directed to improvements in indoor and outdoor chairs. This could assist in the design of some aspects of a dual-purpose powered chair, but the difficulties are formidable.
