HC Deb 08 May 1973 vol 856 c48W
28 Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received about the inadequacy of the new three-wheel invalid carriage, the P70.

Mr. Alison

Model 70 has been well received and even its severest critics have recognised that it has improved features that represent a significant advance over its predecessors. As one would expect of a new design, there have been some mechanical teething troubles which have been largely overcome by design modifications. Our engineers are considering with the manufacturers what further improvements should be made.
