§ Mrs. Rosie BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what additional measures he intends to undertake to ensure equal employment opportunities for persons with disabilities to allow for the fact that local authorities will no longer be able to exercise contract compliance on their behalf if the terms of the Local Government Bill remain unchanged; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopeNone. The provisions of the Local Government Bill do not affect employers' duties under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1944.
