HC Deb 13 March 1917 vol 91 cc901-2
40. Mr. BRUNNER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has considered the case of blind piano-tuners who in the course of their business are obliged to travel by railway and pay the increased fares; and whether he can make some concession in their case?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. G. Roberts)

I sympathise with the case, but I am afraid that it is not practicable in present circumstances to make an exception in favour of blind piano-tuners.
