HC Deb 10 March 1978 vol 945 cc800-1W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the numbers of registered disabled for each year since 1944; and if he will break down these totals into the mentally and physically disabled.

Mr. John Grant

I am advised by the Manpower Services Commission that figures are not available prior to 1946. Information from then onwards is as follows:

Mr. John Grant

I am informed by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that the Commission has already announced its intention of submitting proposals for regulations requiring the notification of potentially hazardous installations along the lines recommended by the Advisory Committe on Major Hazards in its first report. I understand that the regulations are now in course of preparation.
