asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the Government's administrative assistance to Motability is a temporary or a permanent facility.

The assistance provided by my Department to Mot-ability, as to other voluntary bodies, will be subject to periodic review in the light of experience. We have set no fixed time limit to our assistance.

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make available to all hon. Members full details of the Motability scheme, and the procedure for application.

As my right hon. Friend said in his statement on 6th December—[Vol. 940, c. 1124–39]Motability is not yet ready to receive detailed inquiries or applications for help, but it expects to have a scheme under way by next summer. When it has worked out a detailed scheme the organisation will itself make an announcement. A copy of Lord Goodman's statement of 6th December, which set out Motability's aims, has been placed in the Library of the House.
