§ Mr. Harold Walkerasked 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K. JosephThe car conversion grant payable to disabled persons forgoing three-wheelers to which they were entitled was superseded by the private car allowance about which I told the House on 21st February, 1972.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.]
