HC Deb 02 August 1972 vol 842 c148W
Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when, and why, he withdrew the car conversion grants for which war disabled persons were formerly eligible; and why he has not made a public statement about this action.

Sir K. Joseph

The car conversion grant payable to disabled persons forgoing three-wheelers to which they were entitled was superseded by the private car allowance about which I told the House on 21st February, 1972. Further explanation was offered in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Banbury (Mr. Marten) on 1st March, 1972.—[Vol. 831, c. 934; Vol. 832, c.130.]
