HC Deb 05 July 1982 vol 27 c14W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many firms in the areas served by employment offices in North Staffordshire were employing the 3 per cent. quota of registered disabled people under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1944 at the most recent dale for which figures are available.

Mr. Alison

The quota provisions of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1944 apply to employers with 20 or more employees. At 1 June 1982, 240 such employers in the areas served by jobcentres and employment offices in North Staffordshire were employing at least 3 per cent. of registered disabled people within their work forces.
