§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report, for the latest appropriate period available, the percentage of applicants for the mobility allowance who are successful, the percentage of unsuccessful applicants who succeed on making an appeal and the percentage of those who fail on appeal but who are finally awarded the allowance by the medical tribunal.
§ Mr. RossiThe information is not available in the form requested, but in the 12 months up to 2 March 1981, 62 per cent. of claims decided were successful initially, 5 per cent. as the result of an appeal to a medical board and 1 per cent. as the result of an appeal to a medical appeal tribunal. I regret that separate figures for Wales are not available.
