HC Deb 02 April 1947 vol 435 c2026
35. Mr. Douglas Marshall

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what was the pension allowed by the German Government for blind persons; what was the pension allowed for blind persons in August, 1945; and what is the present figure.

Mr. J. Hynd

There was no standard pension for blind persons in Germany before the war and there is none now. Maintenance of blind persons is covered by social industrial or other general arrangements appropriate to the circumstances and cause of their disability.
