§ Mr. SEDDONasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that, as the result of Circular 1245 of the Board of Education, blind and deaf children of five years of age and over are being kept from attendance at suitable 2589W schools, whereas for children who see and hear no alteration of the age of school attendance has been made; and, in view of the special needs of these children for educational training, what is the reason for this exceptional treatment as compared with sighted and hearing children?
§ Mr. FISHERI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 28th March to the hon. and gallant Member for Stoke-on-Trent (Lieut.-Colonel J. Ward), and on 6th April to the hon. and gallant Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Colonel Wedgwood).
