HC Deb 17 June 1936 vol 313 c1014W
Mr. LEONARD

asked the Minister of Labour what representations have been made to his Department urging the institution of special provisions for the training and employment of deaf and dumb persons; and does he propose any action in the matter?

Mr. E. BROWN

A request has recently been made to my Department by the Mission to the Deaf and Dumb in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, for a grant in aid of its training and placing scheme, but I regret that it has not been possible to accede to this request.
