asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many people are classified (1) as very severely handicapped, (2) severely handicapped. (3) appreciably handicapped, and (4) impaired, with minor or no handicap; and how many of these are in the categories of working, sick and unemployed, and permanently disabled, giving the figures for each classification within each of the three categories.

I regret that this information is not available in the categories requested. I will send the hon. Member the figures which are provided through the annual returns of handicapped persons supplied by local authorities.
