asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that Mrs. B. C. Lewis, now resident at 84A, Margate Road, Herne Bay, registration number XPGB.77 2 applied under the National Health Scheme for spectacles in September, 1948, and that she has not yet received them; and when she may expect delivery of them.

The Kent and Canterbury Executive Council have been unable to identify the case from the particulars given. I have asked them to obtain further information from Mrs. Lewis and to inquire into the facts. I will inform the hon. Member of the outcome.
