§ Sir Bernard Braineasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now revise the scheme to help vaccine-damaged children in order to cover cases where permanent damage was caused, but attendance and mobility allowance is not being paid; and if he will make a statement about this and other aspects of the schemes.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisIn his statement to the House on 9th May—[Vol. 949, c. 973–5]—my right hon. Friend made it clear that receipt of attendance or mobility allowance would not be the exclusive criterion of severe damage. Details of the scheme are still being worked out, but we hope to be able to 391W make a further announcement before the recess.
