§ Mrs. Chalkerasked the Secretary of State for Wales what action he is taking to increase the number of registered disabled persons employed in his Department; and when he expects to achieve the 3 per cent. target.
§ Mr. John MorrisI have appointed a departmental disabled persons officer to promote the interests of disabled employees; and have ensured that those who carry out the recruitment and deployment of disabled staff are fully aware of their potentialities. The attainment of the 3 per cent. target largely depends on the availability of suitable disabled persons.
