HC Deb 08 February 1972 vol 830 cc322-3W
Mr. Joel Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he now expects to make his statement on the invalid vehicle scheme; and if he will take into account the example submitted to him by the hon. Member for Heywood and Royton whereby his Department refused to pay the full car conversion costs of £135.50 but instead were prepared to provide an invalid car at approximately four times the cost.

Mr. Alison

I hope to make an announcement before very long. The car conversion grant arrangements are being considered.
