HC Deb 30 March 1987 vol 113 c400W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated cost in Wales for 1987–88 of the increased relief for blind persons.

Mr. Norman Lamont

[pursuant to his reply, 25 March 1987, c. 215]: About 45,000 blind people in the United Kingdom will benefit from the increased allowance at a cost of about £2 million. Information readily available centrally does not allow a reliable estimate to be provided of the effect on taxpayers in Wales.
