§ 16. Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he is yet in a position to say how many of those wounded and maimed in operations in and around the Falkland Islands will be registrable as disabled.
§ Mr. Rossi:No one has yet been discharged from employment in the Armed Forces or Merchant Navy as a result of wounds received in the Falklands conflict and therefore, as far as I am aware, no one has become registered as disabled. The hon. Member should know that the registers of disabled people are kept by local authority social service departments and no central record is kept of the individual circumstances of those on these registers.
