HC Deb 17 January 1989 vol 145 c177W
43. Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what new proposals he has to improve the employment prospects for disabled people.

Mr. Lee

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Kent (Mr. Rowe) on 6 December 1988 at column 141.

71. Mr. Browne

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement about the number of disabled people in employment training.

Mr. Nicholls

Comprehensive information on the number of disabled people on employment training is not yet available. Early indications suggest that about 6 per cent. of those joining the programme have disabilities.
