HC Deb 16 March 1976 vol 907 cc504-5W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consideration she has given to the provision of small cars for disabled mothers with young children as an alternative to the mobility allowance.

Mr. Alfred Morris

We have taken careful note of the representations about this and other groups of people with particular mobility problems. Disabled mothers who now have cars will keep them as long as they remain eligible; for the future, the mobility allowance scheme provides assistance in an equitable way to disabled mothers who cannot drive, to those who can, and to other groups of disabled people including disabled children.
