§ Mr. Harold Walkerasked the Minister of Labour how many orders have been made giving effect to the provisions of Section 10(2)(b) of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1944; and if he will seek to use these provisions more extensively in order to reduce the number of unemployed disabled persons.
§ Mr. GunterOne, the Disabled Persons (Special Percentage) (No. 1) Order, 1946, which designates a special percentage of 0.1 per cent. in relation to the quota requirements of the Act for seagoing employment. I do not think that greater use of the power would be practicable as a means of reducing unemployment among the disabled.
