HC Deb 23 January 1970 vol 794 c206W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what plans she has to encourage the setting up of Sheltered Workshops for disabled workers not otherwise readily able to obtain employment in areas large enough to render such a workshop viable.

Mr. Harold Walker

Viability entails a minimum of 30 workers. My Department's surveys show that in every area where such a need remains the best way of meeting it is currently under discussion, whether with Remploy Ltd., local authorities, or voluntary bodies.
