§ 36. Commander SOUTHBYasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the cost of postage on paper used by blind persons for writing in Braille and of the poor circumstances of the majority of blind persons, he will consider the introduction of legislation to amend the Post Office Act in order to enable this paper to be carried by parcel post at a special rate corresponding to the special rate now charged for paper already impressed with Braille type?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHI regret that I cannot see my way to introduce legislation on the lines suggested.
§ Commander SOUTHBYWill the hon. Member receive representations on this subject from those interested in the blind?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHWe have received representations from the National Institute, and I should be very glad to consider any further suggestions that they may make.
