HC Deb 16 December 1986 vol 107 c520W
42. Mr. Ashley

asked the Paymaster General what is the latest percentage figure of registered disabled people who are unemployed; and how this compares with the national average of unemployment.

Mr. Lee

There were 25,539 unemployed registered disabled people registered for employment at jobcentres and careers offices on 3 October 1986. The number of registered disabled people who are unemployed claimants at unemployment benefit offices is not available. A percentage rate of unemployed registered disabled people cannot be calculated. Because the numbers of registered disabled people in employment and in the working population are not available.
