HC Deb 25 May 1982 vol 24 c282W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people were employed in sheltered workshops at the latest date for which figures are available.

Mr. Alison

The latest available figures are those given in my reply to the right hon. Member on 4 December—[Vol. 14, c.258]. More up-to-date figures—in respect of the year ending 31 March 1982—are expected to be available towards the end of August.
