§ Mr. Martenasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what provisions he is making for transport for a disabled driver whose three-wheeler is phased out.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisAs the hon. Member will appreciate, we cannot predict how many people might still want a specialised vehicle at the stage when tricycles can no longer be replaced. The mobility allowance will be available to them, and some will qualify for help under the fares-to-work scheme of the Employment Services Agency. When the time approaches we shall assess the extent of
504WScotland for the three months ended 30th June 1976, respectively, under each appropriate type of vehicle.
