Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
According to the standard letter from the RNIB to MPs—I was pleased to receive several letters from constituents about this issue, too—the eligible group is to be tightly defined to mean""people with no useful sight for orientation purposes; i.e. 'the severely blind'"." Is the hon. Gentleman happy with that definition?
