HC Deb 28 June 1982 vol 26 cc235-6W
Mr. Race

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what changes have recently been made in the war pensioners vehicle scheme, to replace vehicles by cash benefits.

Mr. Rossi

None. The hon. Member may have heard that the possibility of a cash allowance to replace the war pensioners' vehicle scheme has been considered by the central advisory committee on war pensions. The possibility is being studied jointly by representatives of war pensioners and by our officials and they will report back to the committee and to me. I await the results with interest. I shall not want to bring in any changes unless I am satisfied that they commend themselves to war pensioners.

Forward to
