HC Deb 06 February 1967 vol 740 cc207-9W
67. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state for each of the last five years, up to the latest convenient date, the number, by sexes and trades, of unemployed persons in the city of Aberdeen.

Mr. Fernyhough

Following is the information:

Tax to blind shopkeepers who, by reason of their blindness, are compelled to employ a sighted assistant.

Mr. Hattersley

Various sources of financial assistance are already available to blind persons engaging in business on their own account. However, if the hon. Member has a particular case in mind in which the incidence of S.E.T. has had a significant effect I shall be glad to look into it.
