HC Deb 31 October 1989 vol 159 c172W
75. Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he is planning any new initiatives to increase employment opportunities for disabled people.

Mr. Eggar

The Department's general employment and training programmes are designed to help meet the needs of as many people with disabilities as possible. They are supplemented as necessary by a range of provision specifically for people with disabilities including sheltered employment for those with severe disabilities. These programmes are the subject of a review, the results of which will be made available as soon as possible.
