§ Mr. Shersbyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the cost to the Exchequer of making the existing blind persons' disablement costs allowance available as a tax-free allowance.
§ Mr Peter ReesI am not clear what my hon. Friend has in mind. There is no such benefit as"blind persons'" disablement costs allowance. Industrial disablement benefit which may be payable on account of blindness is not taxable.
