§ Mr. Edward Evansasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education what conclusions have been reached on the representations which have been made to him about fees for lip-reading classes by the National Institute for the Deaf and the British Association for the Hard of Hearing.
§ Sir E. BoyleLip-reading classes meet a special need of handicapped people and merit exceptional treatment. My noble Friend has therefore decided that, with effect from next autumn, he will not expect local education authorities to charge higher fees for these classes than they were charging before the issue of Circular 307 last June.
