HC Deb 10 March 1982 vol 19 c432W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will change the rules whereby jobs becoming available in sheltered workshops for the blind are advertised at jobcentres.

Mr. Alison

Applications for vacancies in sheltered workshops are made through the Manpower Services Commission's disablement resettlement service, and such vacancies are not normally put on display in jobcentres. The commission sees no advantage in changing these arrangements, but if the hon. Member has any particular problems in mind, I will raise them with the commission.
