§ Mr. Rookerasked the Secretary of State for Employment what method will be used to implement the proposal that Government Departments and other employers in the public sector should publish annually information about the numbers of registered disabled they employ.
§ Mr. John GrantPublic sector employers have been asked to agree to an arrangement under which this Department would summarise and publish the relevant information centrally, probably in theDepartment of Employment Gazette. The Civil Service Department has already agreed to provide a statement about Government Departments for publication in the same way.
§ Mr. Rookerasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has yet concluded his consideration of placing a 361W statutory obligation on employers to disclose publicly information regarding quota requirements to employ registered disabled persons.
§ Mr. John GrantNo. Consideration of this issue is still proceeding. My hon. Friend stated the position in his reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Southampton, Test (Mr. Gould) on 18th May.—[Vol. 911, c.484.]
