HC Deb 26 January 1965 vol 705 c170W
38. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the difficulties experienced by blind persons shopping in self-service stores, if he will hold discussions with the trading interests with a view to taking steps to help them and to advertise where a store offers special facilities.

Mr. K. Robinson

The Supermarket Association, at the instance of the National League of the Blind, has recently suggested to its members that they should arrange help for blind shoppers in their stores. No case of difficulty has been brought to my notice, but if my hon. Friend knows of individual cases I will gladly make enquiries through the appropriate local authority.
