HC Deb 22 June 1922 vol 155 c1503
88. Mr. STANTON

asked the President of the Board of Education what his Department proposes to do in regard to the future education of blind and deaf children; will the proposed cuts in educational expenditure affect these children to their future training and development; and will these unfortunate children have special consideration from his Department?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Fisher)

I have had under my careful consideration the question of the education of blind and deaf children. I am glad to state that, notwithstanding the present financial difficulties, it will be possible to allow existing schools for such children to be utilised to the full extent of their accommodation.
