asked the Minister for Health if he will arrange to have increased rates of disabled persons' maintenance allowance granted to polio victims who qualify for these allowances and are unfit to work.

Mr. J. Lenehan
No. I do not consider that the payment of differential rates of disability maintenance allowances on the basis of the cause of disablement would be justified.
The maximum rates of disabled persons maintenance allowances will be increased by 50p per week as from 1st August next.
