§ 97. Mr. Simmonsasked the Minister of Labour if he will take immediate action to obtain statistics concerning employment and unemployment of persons registered as disabled under the Disabled Persons (Employment)Act, by ascertaining the numbers of registered disabled persons who are still in the employment field and either employed or registered as unemployed, and the numbers of persons whose registration under the Act has lapsed or not been renewed and who still count in employers' quotas of disabled persons employed.
§ Mr. CarrMy Department already collects very full statistics about the employment and unemployment of registered disabled persons, and I think these are generally sufficient for the purpose. I will, however, consider the suggestion made in the latter part of the question about lapsed registrations.
