HC Deb 26 November 1979 vol 974 cc440-1W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list details of the number of (a) local government authorities, (b) nationalised industries, (c) regional health authorities and (d) area health authorities which have applied for and gained permits to employ non-disabled workers for each year since 1960; and if he will express these data as a percentage of the number of authorities covered in each of the groups.

Mr. Jim Lester

I am advised by the Manpower Services Commission that the information requested is not available centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
