HC Deb 14 October 1975 vol 897 c661W
39. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will now consider a reduction of the period of six months for the qualification of constant attendance allowance after medical practitioners have been satisfied that the medical conditions for a higher rate allowance have been met, in view of the correspondence forwarded to her by the hon. Member for Rye, one of whose constituents died during the intervening period.

Mr. Alfred Morris

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Morecambe and Lonsdale (Mr. Hall-Davis) on 10th June.—[Vol. 893, c.147.]
