Mr. Tierney

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many registered disabled persons are registered as unemployed at Department of Employment offices covering the Yardley constituency.

Mr. Harold Walker

The boundaries of the constituency do not coincide with those of employment office areas. But the constituency is served partly by the employment office at Small Heath and partly by the office at Washwood Heath. On 8th April the number of registered disabled people unemployed in the areas covered by these offices was 263 and 169 respectively.
