HC Deb 31 January 1972 vol 830 c50W
Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is yet in a position to announce details of the proposed new invalid vehicle.

Mr. Alison

The new invalid vehicle has been on issue since July, 1971. It incorporates a larger engine, automatic transmission, two sliding doors, a new form of suspension, a wider variety of steering controls, including a wheel when this is medically acceptable, improved heating, and other features which experience has shown to be desirable for severely disabled people.
