HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 cc377-8W

Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Paymaster General what is the population of disabled economically active 16 and 17-year-olds in Britain.

Mr. Ian Lang

Information is not available in the exact for requested.

Preliminary labour force survey results for the spring of 1985 estimate that there were about 47,000 economically active 16 and 17-year-olds in Great Britain who were limited in the kind of paid work they could do by a health problem or disability.
