HC Deb 25 March 1964 vol 692 c120W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Minister of Health whether his Department has investigated the suitability of the ultra-sonic aid for the blind for enabling blind persons the better to detect the presence of obstacles in their path, and thereby increase their capacity for independent movement; and whether he will make a statement concerning the availability of this equipment by prescription under the National Health Service.

Mr. Braine

I understand that this aid is still at the experimental stage.
