HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 c59W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Minister for the Civil Service which Government Departments comply with the quota requirements for the employment of registered disabled persons.

Mr. Hayhoe

The numbers of registered disabled people employed by Government Departments are collected once a year. The latest available figures show that on 1 June 1980 11 departments met the quota requirements. The departments concerned are as follows:

per cent
Employment Group 3.20
Exchequer Office (Scotland) 3.70
Friendly Societies 4.26
General Register Office (Scotland) 3.91
National Investment and Loans Office 4.38
Privy Council 5.19
Public Record Office 3.44
Public Trustee Office 3.43
Scottish Record Office 3.16
Stationery Office 3.04
Treasury Solicitor 3.50

The number of Government Departments achieving the quota target increased during the 12-month period to 1 June 1980. The figures for 1 June 1979 showed that eight departments employed 3 per cent, or more registered disabled people.
