HC Deb 27 July 1967 vol 751 cc243-4W
Mr. Murray

asked the Minister of Labour (1) how many educationally subnormal persons are at present employed in sheltered workshops;

(2) what steps he is taking to increase the number of sheltered workshops employing the educationally subnormal.

Mr. Fernyhongh

Information is not available about how many educationally subnormal persons are at present employed in sheltered workshops. The in- creasing provision of sheltered employment facilities for the severely disabled will offer opportunities for any educationally subnormal who are not suitable for ordinary employment.
