HC Deb 04 May 1939 vol 346 cc2061-2
50. Mr. Day

asked the Minister of Health the number of local authorities who are making contributions to voluntary associations to aid the work of finding employment for deaf-and-dumb persons, as recommended by his Department?

Mr. Elliot

Contributions to voluntary associations to aid the work of finding employment for deaf-and-dumb persons are made by 33 county councils and 51 county borough councils.

Mr. Day

Has certain of this work been hampered through the neglect of some of these authorities?

Mr. Elliot

I am not aware of that, and if the hon. Gentleman has any information I shall be glad to receive it.
