HC Deb 02 December 1975 vol 901 c513W
30. Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of Stale for Employment whether he will advise that the making of the Queen's Award for Industry shall be subject to the recipient firms employing their quota of registered disabled.

Mr. Harold Walker

The hon. Gentleman's proposal would require an expansion of the criteria on which firms are judged under the Queen's Award Scheme. Such an expansion has been ruled out by the Government's acceptance of the 1975 Review Committee's recommendation that the scope of the scheme should continue unchanged.
