§ 63. Mr. A. J. Irvineasked the Minister of Labour how many reports he received in the 12 months ended 31st October, 1963, or latest convenient period from district advisory committees of alleged contraventions of obligations to employ a quota of registered persons under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Acts.
§ Mr. GodberResponsibility for ensuring that employers observe their obligations under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Acts, rests with my local offices. During the past year neither they nor my Disablement Advisory Committees have reported to me any instances of a serious infringement of the Acts.
§ 64. Mr. A. J. Irvineasked the Minister of Labour to what extent persons other than registered disabled persons are currently being employed in classes of employment designated by orders under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Acts.
§ Mr. GodberThis information is not available for a date later than 1959 when
20Wit was estimated that about 20 per cent. of persons in these classes of employment were not registered as disabled. If the hon. and learned Gentleman has a particular case in mind I should be glad to look into it.
