HC Deb 01 February 1995 vol 253 c665W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion and number of non-industrial civil servants in the Departments and agencies for which he has responsibility are registered disabled and disabled as defined by the Cabinet Office document, "Focus on Ability".

Mr. Nelson

At 1 July 1994 the number of registered disabled people employed in the Chancellor's departments and agencies was 1,686, representing 1.8 per cent. of total staff. Figures for the number and proportion of all disabled people employed in the Chancellor's departments and agencies are not available, but surveys carried out by some of the Chancellor's departments and agencies suggest that there may be as many non-registered disabled people as there are registered.
