HC Deb 17 December 1992 vol 216 c379W
Mr. Elletson

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many(a) physically disabled and (b) sensorily disabled people are employed in his Department; and what percentage they are of the total work force.

Sir John Cope

On 1 July 1992, the latest date for which this information is available, there were 26 Treasury staff who were registered disabled; of this total, seven are registered physically disabled and nine are registered sensorily disabled. The total number of staff in these two categories represents 0.7 per cent. of the Department's total work force; 1.1 per cent. of the Treasury work force are registered as disabled. The Department employs a number of people with disabilities who have chosen not to register as disabled.
