asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if his Department will demonstrate developments in technology for the disabled at the Permanent Exhibition for disabled people organised by the Disabled Living Foundation, details of which have been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.

I am glad that Lady Hamilton, Chairman of the Disabled Living Foundation, advised me of the exhibition, which is to open in 1971. It would, however, be inappropriate for me to attempt to demonstrate developments in technology for the disabled as these are the special concern of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Social Services.
