§ 60. Mr. T. SMITHasked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the suggestion of the advisory committee on the welfare of the blind that the reduction of the age limit from 50 to 40 years for the receipt of a blind pension would be fully justified; and whether he proposes, in the near future, to take any action on the matter?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part, this matter is under consideration in connection with others affecting the welfare of the blind, but I am not in a position to make a statement on the subject at present.
