HC Deb 30 January 1987 vol 109 cc432-3W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Paymaster Genera] if he will list all the bodies established by statute which are responsible to him; if he will specify the statute in each case; to which of these bodies there is anyone appointed with special knowledge of disability; and if the persons so appointed are persons with a disability.

Mr. Lee

Listed below are the bodies established by statute which are responsible to my right hon. and noble Friend the Secretary of State. For most of the bodies listed, members are not appointed for their special knowledge of disability and therefore it is not known how many have such knowledge. The National Advisory Council on Employment of Disabled People has 27 members, all of whom have a special knowledge of disability and eight of whom themselves have a disability. The 1,032 members of Committees for the Employment of Disabled People also all have a special knowledge of disability, and 132 are known to have a disability.
