HC Deb 14 February 1985 vol 73 c239W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will institute and maintain an official register of blind and partially sighted persons.

Mr. Younger

The present informal arrangements for the maintenence of information about blind persons by local authorities, or by voluntary agencies acting on their behalf, appear to work satisfactorily. The position remains subject to review, but I see no case for altering the existing practice meanwhile.
