§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give a general direction to those nationalised industries for which he is sponsoring Minister that they should meet the quota of 3 per cent. employment of disabled people since, as revealed by the Department of Employment Gazette, they do not curently do so.
§ Mr. Gregor MacKenzieNo. I have been assured by the Chairmen of the Scottish Electricity Boards and the Scottish Transport Group that, within the obvious constraints imposed by the nature of their operations, the Boards and the Group have due regard to their obligations under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1944.
