§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he requires invalid tricycles and cars issued by his Department to be garaged; if the garaging costs of disabled people's cars and tricycles may be met by supplementary benefit; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RossiWith the exception of electric invalid tricycles, users are not required to garage the tricycles and cars issued by the Department. The Department would normally have provided a garage if necessary to electric tricycle users at no cost to the user. Invalid tricycles are not now being issued to any new users and, as far as is known, no special garaging problem exists for those who already have the electric vehicles. If the hon. Member has an individual problem in mind, perhaps he will write to me.
