HC Deb 16 December 1977 vol 941 cc593-4W
Mr. Jim Lester

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has further considered the possibility of commuting the mobility allowance in favour of providing an Invacar for those who prefer it.

Mr. Alfred Morris

As my right hon. Friend indicated in his statement of 6th December—[Vol. 940, c.1124–39]—a new organisation, Motability, has been set up, with practical administrative help from my Department, so that mobility allowance recipients may have the personal use of a vehicle.

I have nothing to add at present to the terms of my right hon. Friend's statement and replies to supplementary questions on that date.
