HC Deb 18 June 1984 vol 62 cc25-6W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many disabled persons are registered as unemployed at the latest available date; and what percentage have been unemployed for more than one year.

Mr. Alan Clark

Information on the number of disabled people who are unemployed is only available for those who choose to register for employment at jobcentres and careers offices.

On 2 March 1984, there were 100,792 disabled people who were unemployed and so registered for employment. Information about the length of time they had been unemployed is not available.
