HC Deb 06 April 1960 vol 621 c47W
45. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state the number of handicapped people registered as unemployed in Cardiff, and the number who have been unemployed for six months or more; and what special measures are being taken to provide employment for these people.

Mr. P. Thomas

On 4th April, 493 registered disabled persons were unemployed, of whom 245 had been unemployed for six months or more. The recent improvement in the local employment situation, which I hope will continue, should assist my disablement resettlement officers to find suitable jobs for them.
