§ Sir H. Williamsasked the Minister of Health how the number of children born congenitally blind in 1943 compares with 1938.
§ Mr. WillinkI regret that no figures are available as to the number of children who are born blind, but I am advised that it is very small. The numbers of children under one year of age registered in England and Wales as blind on 31st 2141W March, 1938 and 1943, were respectively 11 and 13.
