HC Deb 17 October 1916 vol 86 cc420-1W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he has received the Report of the Departmental Committee on the Blind; and, if not, when it is expected to be issued to the public, and what is the reason for the delay in issuing it?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

The Committee, although they have concluded the taking of evidence, are not yet in a position to present their Report. They are unanimous in thinking that the interests of the blind community will be best served by deferring the issue of the Report until a more opportune time.
