asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when it is expected that the outcome will be known of the meeting of a tribunal of social security commissioners on 3 November to consider mobility allowance appeals; and if he will make a statement.

A tribunal of social security commissioners heard three mobility allowance appeals on 3 November. I understand that the Chief Commissioner considers that the decisions are of great importance and that some time will be taken over them. The decisions will be issued to the parties involved as soon as they are completed. No doubt the decisions will be available subsequently as reported decisions from Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
