§ 71. Mr. Millanasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will change his policy of refusing certain unemployed registered blind persons employment in sheltered workshops, where there are plans available for them, on the grounds that they are suitable for other employment when in practice they cannot obtain other employment.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithSection 15 of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act, 1944, clearly defines those categories of disabled people who are eligible for employment in sheltered workshops. My right hon. Friend's policies are directed towards securing for blind and other disabled people employment opportunities best suited to their individual abilities and skills.
