HC Deb 06 December 1988 vol 143 c149W
94. Sir David Price

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what measures he intends to take to improve the job opportunities for registered disabled workers, following the recent report of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys.

Mr. Lee

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply given earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Kent (Mr. Rowe).

The recently published information in the report by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, on the financial circumstances of disabled adults living in private households, does not provide sufficiently precise information about the employment needs of people with disabilities. My Department has recently commissioned a survey to provide such information, the results of which will be available in the second half of next year.
