HC Deb 15 July 1909 vol 7 c2426W
Mr. FIELD

asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce and pass a measure in aid of the blind; whether he is aware that such provisions exist in Continental nations; and whether he will consider the desirability of adopting the example of other countries in assisting the blind to earn a living?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Government will be glad to consider any representations that may be made to them, but I am not in a position to give any undertaking as to the introduction of legislation on the subject.
