HC Deb 25 October 1955 vol 545 c19
32. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Labour the number of disabled persons who are now in employment and the percentage that is unemployed.

Mr. Watkinson

In September, 1955, there were 825,359 persons registered as disabled, of whom 36,198 were unemployed. By no means all disabled persons in employment are registered and I cannot, therefore, give the full information asked for by my hon. Friend.
