§ Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Labour the number of registered disabled persons in Cardiff and the number unemployed at the nearest convenient date.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe number of registered disabled persons in the Cardiff area at 16th January, 1950, was 5,713, of whom 531 were unemployed, including 55 classified as unlikely to obtain employment except under sheltered conditions.
§ Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Labour what progress has been made in the provision of special employment for registered disabled persons in Cardiff.
§ Mr. IsaacsThere are facilities for the special employment of severely disabled persons at Treforest Remploy factory to which 34 registered disabled persons in the Cardiff area travel daily. As my hon. Friend knows, it was hoped to open another Remploy factory in Cardiff for the special employment of tuberculous persons, but as I announced on 7th July, 1949, this has had to be deferred.
