§ 61. Mr. Grieveasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the substantial cost which now falls upon 61W blind persons in the upkeep of their guide dogs; and what proposals he has for alleviating their burden in this respect.
§ Mr. TaverneThe additional expenses of blind people generally were taken into account in granting the blind person's allowance. I regret that we cannot see our way to giving a special tax relief to those blind persons who maintain a guide dog.
