HC Deb 25 February 1983 vol 37 cc543-4W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how much his Department spent in the past 12 months on education and publicity aimed at countering discrimination against disabled people; if he will set out in the Official Report full details of the expenditure incurred; and how much is to be spent in the financial year 1983–84.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

It is not possible separately to identify expenditure in this way. A key aim of Government policy is to promote the integration of disabled people by increasing public awareness of their problems, by encouraging full use of their abilities and skills and by breaking down the barriers they often face. This is reflected in a whole range of activities carried out in Wales by both the statutory authorities and voluntary organisations, many of which receive Government support.
