Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research has been carried out on the impact on the number of people seeking eye tests of the introduction of a charge.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The findings should be available after Easter when we would expect to provide a summary for the Library.
