HC Deb 15 May 1972 vol 837 c38W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what were the numbers of local authority day nurseries and places, private nurseries and places, hospital nurseries and children privately fostered in Staffordshire in each year since 1965.

Mr. Alison

The available information for the administrative county of Staffordshire is as follows:

Category 3. Those slightly less severely disabled with very limited walking ability who because of this, need personal transport to get to and from work.

For those in categories 1 and 2—the majority—employment is not a relevant consideration. Unless they have deteriorated to category 2 standard, those in category 3 who permanently cease work are no longer eligible for an invalid vehicle.
