HC Deb 18 January 1982 vol 16 cc32-3W
Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list any specific contributions his Department has made to the International Year of Disabled People.

Mr. MacGregor

Both in its research establishments and through grants to industry my Department has been engaged in the development of high technology equipment which will assist the disabled. It has also endeavoured to stimulate interest in aids for the disabled in other ways, such as through its microprocessor application programme which included the tour of the microtrain during the International Year of Disabled People.
