HC Deb 26 June 1972 vol 839 cc245-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Wales 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. Peter Thomas

No registered blind persons are employed in the Welsh Office. The Civil Service Department in consultation with establishment officers of all major Departments is actively considering what further action can be taken to increase the numbers of registered disabled people, including blind persons, employed in the Civil Service.
