§ 48. Sir K. WOODasked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to take any action concerning the recommendations in the recent report of the Advisory Committee on the Welfare of the Blind; and whether he has decided to bring before Parliament proposals for giving to blind people pensions at 40 years of age?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI am not sure what particular recommendations the right hon. Gentleman has in view. Most of the recommendations contained in this report do not call for any action on my part. As regards the last part of the 613 question, I would refer to the answer given on this subject on 10th April to my hon. Friend the Member for Pontefract (Mr. T. Smith).
§ Sir K. WOODDoes the right hon. Gentleman intend to bring forward proposals for increased pensions for the blind, as he promised the electors at the last Election?
