(2) what is his latest estimate of the number of handicapped and impaired mothers in Great Britain who have children below the school leaving age now who are sufficiently handicapped to fall in categories 1 to 6 of the definitions used in paragraph 3.3.3. of Amelia Harris's report "Handicapped and Impaired in Great Britain".
§ Sir K. JosephAs regards adults there have been no fresh estimates since publication of the survey report. There are no comparable estimates of handicapped and impaired mothers with children below the age of 16, nor of handicapped and impaired children themselves.
