§ Sir B. Rhys Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people in full-time work are eligible for the tax allowance for the blind; and how many do not earn enough to obtain the advantage of the allowance in full.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonI regret that information is not available in the form requested. There are some 30,000 claimants of the blind allowance, but there is no central record of the number of these who are in full-time work or whose income is insufficient to take full advantage of the allowance.
