§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people in Scotland and South Ayrshire, respectively, will be affected by the Government's decision to require certain categories of invalids 118W to surrender invalid vehicles on cessation of full-time work; and what are the estimated savings from this measure.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellIt is difficult to say with any accuracy until individual cases are reviewed how many will be affected by this change, the effect of which will be to treat in the same way present vehicle users and fresh applicants who qualify for a vehicle only if they are in employment. But I would expect the figure to be about 25 persons a year in Scotland, with a saving of about £20,000. No estimate for smaller areas can be made.
