HC Deb 18 March 1970 vol 798 c140W
Mr. Marten

asked the President of the Board of Trade why the percentage of disabled staff in his Department and in the Exports Credits Guarantee Department is below 3 per cent.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The percentage of disabled staff is now temporarily slightly below 3 per cent. because almost one-third of the staff are employed on work such as civil aviation and coastguard duties which requires high fitness standards of entry.
