§ Mr. Corbettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will take steps to increase the private car allowance of £100 for disabled drivers to coincide with the start of the mobility allowance in January 1976.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisOur policy has been not to increase the private car allowance but to use available resources for the mobility allowance which will benefit severely disabled drivers and non-drivers equally. That allowance will benefit some 100,000 severely disabled people who receive no help whatever under the present scheme and is both an important new initiative and a substantial new financial commitment.
