§ Mr. Clemitsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the latest estimated date by which the mobility allowance will be fully phased-in; and what is the latest estimate of the number of people to who the allowance will be paid once the scheme becomes fully implemented.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisThe phasing-in programme will be completed by the end of 1979. Our original estimates for a fully phased-in scheme of 100,000 new beneficiaries and 25,000 vehicle scheme beneficiaries who might choose to switch to the mobility allowance remain unchanged.
