§ 93. Mr. Haleasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there is no special provision for the employment in the Oldham area of persons so disabled as not to be fit for ordinary employment but not sufficiently disabled for acceptance by Remploy; and what steps he proposes to take to assist them.
