HC Deb 30 April 1974 vol 872 c399W
2. Mr. Robin F. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he hopes to make a statement on his consultations on sheltered employment for the disabled.

Mr. Booth

It is too early to say. These consultations have been extensive and are not yet complete.

31. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is now in a position to publish his policy on sheltered and other forms of employment for the disabled; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Booth

As I pointed out in answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh, Central (Mr. Cook), consultations about the future of sheltered employment are still in progress. I regret therefore I am not yet in a position to make a statement.
