§ Mr. Morganasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether she will give the total number of war disabled deaf persons in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Harold DaviesI regret that the information asked for is not available in precisely the form requested. There are about 24,000 persons receiving war disablement pensions on account of diseases of the ear where this is the main cause of the disablement, but not all these diseases give rise to any appreciable degree of deafness.
