§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the President of the Board of Education whether, under Circular 1,246 issued by the Board, dated 27th January, 1922, relative to grants to voluntary special schools, though there may be more cases of blind children to be dealt with in 1922–23 than in the previous year, local authorities will not be allowed to deal with such additional cases if the expenditure incurred thereby is greater than the amount spent for the previous year?
§ Mr. FISHERAs I mentioned in my speech on the Board of Education Estimates, I realise the special claim of blind 1011W and deaf children, and I am now considering how best to meet their needs. I hope shortly to be in a position to define the position further.
