HC Deb 11 July 1972 vol 840 c304W
Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what proportion of Government expenditure on contracts for producing aids for the disabled is placed through Remploy Limited.

Mr. Alison

I have been asked to reply.

Direct Government expenditure on contracts for producing aids for the disabled was approximately £19 million in 1971 not including contracts for structural adaptations. Equipment and services which Remploy Limited was in a position to provide accounted for £1,114,000 or nearly 6 per cent.
