HC Deb 08 June 1976 vol 912 c656W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many employers have not employed the quota requirement of 3 per cent. registered disabled people at any time in the last five years and 10 years, respectively.

Mr. John Grant

15,243 employers had not satisfied their quota obligation at any time during the five years preceding 1st June 1975, the latest date for which information is available. Information about the number who had not satisfied the quota at any time during a period of 10 years is not available.

Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish, at the latest available date, the number of employers with a quota obligation and the number fulfilling their quota obligation and the number in breach of the quota requirement who have not applied for a permit in the last 12 months.

Mr. John Grant

Figures of employers' quota compliance are obtained at the annual inquiry in May.

As the figures of this year's inquiry are not yet available, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Marten) on 24th November last.—[Vol. 901, c. 226.]
