HC Deb 21 June 1976 vol 913 cc371-2W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will allocate special grants for the creation of more sheltered employment for handicapped young people.

Mr. John Grant

No. The grant system needs to provide equal opportunity for all age groups. I would not in any event wish to attract young people into sheltered work who might too easily become institutionalised and thus become incapable of a fuller life in open employment.
