§ 80. Mr. Slaterasked the Minister of Labour how many disabled persons are registered on the disabled persons register in the Sedgefield division; how many have been placed in employment; and how many are being trained for employment.
§ Mr. IsaacsApart from the local offices at Sedgefield and Haverton Hill situated within the Parliamentary division, eight other local offices serve fringe areas in that division and I cannot, without considerable research, identify disabled persons living in these areas. At Sedge-field and Haverton Hill there were on 16th January, 1950, 437 disabled persons registered, of whom 22 were unemployed, including one person classified as unlikely to obtain employment except under special conditions. During the year ended 31st January, 1950, 37 persons were placed in employment from these offices. None is now taking training courses.
