§ 7. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Labour when he expects to plan a renewed increase in the number of disabled persons employed in Remploy factories.
§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. E. Fernyhough)The increase has already started; the current strength of over 7,000 severely disabled persons is the highest in Remploy's history, and I hope this trend will continue in 1968.
§ Mr. WilleyWill my hon. Friend think of continuing his good work by relating the Ministry grant proportionately to the increase in the company's sales over, say, the past few years?
§ Mr. FernyhoughI would like to look at that Suggestion without making any specific promise.
