§ Mr. Russell Johnstonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is satisfied that the sheltered workshops and training centres for the disabled in Scotland provide sufficient places for all disabled persons in Scotland who are requiring employment; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellSheltered workshops providing employment are a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment. I have recently asked local authorities to let me know of their proposals for development of the social work services over the next six years, and their replies will show how far additional places are needed in centres for the disabled that provide occupational and social training.
