HC Deb 18 December 1969 vol 793 cc379-80W
43. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what action she is taking through Remploy Limited and otherwise to provide more employment for registered disabled persons in Sunderland.

Mr. Harold Walker

For severely disabled persons who can only work in sheltered conditions I have asked Remploy to include increased provision for Sunderland in its current 3-year plan. As regards those capable of work under ordinary conditions, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 4th December to the hon. Member for Stoke- on-Trent, South (Mr. Ashley). The general measures referred to on that occasion will apply in the Sunderland area.
