HC Deb 19 February 1992 vol 204 c203W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the hon. Member for Berwick upon Tweed, as representing the House of Commons Commission, what percentage of the work force of the House are disabled.

Mr. Beith

The number of registered disabled persons employed by the Commission represents 0.6 per cent. of the total House of Commons staff. That figure does not include registered disabled persons employed by Members or organisations in the House for which the Commission does not at present have responsibility.
