HC Deb 25 July 1978 vol 954 cc717-8W
Mrs. Kellett-Bowman

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will study the design of wheelchairs for the disabled in Holland, which are lighter, more manoeuvrable and most of which have motors with either foot or finger controls, with a view to introducing them in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Alfred Morris

My Department aims to keep abreast of wheelchair developments wherever they occur. I am making further inquiries and it would be helpful to me if the hon. Member could let my Department have details of any particular model she has in mind.
