Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will give for the latest most convenient stated date the number of male and female registered blind workers employed in his Department; and whether he will take whatever action may be open to him to increase this number as and when convenient and suitable vacancies become available.

Mr. John Davies

At the present time, my Department employs 16 male and eight female registered blind workers. We shall continue to seek to increase this number as suitable vacancies arise.
