HC Deb 02 July 1919 vol 117 c980W
Sir EDWARD CARSON

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether a Grant has been made in England for the assistance of the blind; if so, what is the amount; and whether a corresponding Grant will be made for the assistance of the blind in Ireland?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I understand that Parliament will shortly be invited to make provision of approximately £125,000 for England and Scotland in connection with assistance to the blind. With regard to the latter part of the question, I would refer my right hon. and learned Friend to the reply given to the question on this subject, asked by my hon. Friend the Member for the Victoria Division of Belfast (Mr. Donald) on the 5th June.
