§ 112. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Labour whether he will designate the mat and basket trades as sheltered employments for the blind in view of the fact there are already many out of work and who are unable to engage in any other occupation.
§ Mr. IsaacsI have no power to confine employment in these trades to blind persons; but I know the important part they play in the provision of work for the blind, and the position is being kept under review on my behalf by the Blind Persons Committee of the National Advisory Council on the Employment of the Disabled.
