As I was saying, the right hon. Gentleman should look at page 55 of the Red Book, which states:

“As announced by DWP at the introduction of the Welfare Reform Bill 2011, the Government will no longer remove the mobility component of DLA for people in residential care in October 2012. Mobility provision for people in residential care will be reviewed as part of the wider reform of DLA to be introduced from 2013-14.”

That is a clear and sensible position.

All this says is that they may postpone this until 2013. Not much comfort for those who depend upon it.
