HC Deb 01 February 1972 vol 830 c65W
64. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the trials of the OL66 Medresco hearing aid have now been completed; how many will be available during 1972; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

A defect discovered during scientific tests of the prototypes delayed the start of field trials and they are still in progress. It is too early to say what the provision in 1972 is likely to be.
