HC Deb 29 July 1983 vol 46 cc650-1W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if there is any action he will be taking to meet the criticisms there have been of the youth training scheme as it affects disabled young people.

Mr. Peter Morrison

As I have made clear on a number of occasions we shall be keeping all aspects of the youth training scheme under review — including provision for disabled young people — in the light of experience of the operation of the scheme.

Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list those advisory committees and other public bodies, for which he is responsible, which have a member appointed to them to represent disabled people or who have members who are themselves disabled, and, separately, those which do not; and if he will list the names of those so appointed to bodies in the first category.

Mr. Alan Clark

The advisory committee and public bodies for which this Department is responsible are listed in "Public Bodies 1982" which is available in the Library. In many cases details of their membership are not held centrally. The full information requested, where available, could only be provided at disproportionate cost. If the right hon. Member has a query about a particular body, I would be glad to write to him.
