HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 cc437-8W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give a general direction to those nationalised industries for which he is the sponsoring Minister that they should meet the quota of 3 per cent. employment of disabled people since, as revealed by the Department of Employment Gazette, they do not currently do so.

Mr. William Rodgers

I am very anxious that the nationalised industries for which I am responsible should play their full part in providing employment opportunities for the disabled. I am sure they recognise their responsibilities, and it is not necessary for me to issue general directions about the matter.
