HC Deb 18 May 1990 vol 172 cc587-8W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has to provide people with disabilities who need personal assistance in employment with equivalent help to that they have been receiving during their course of higher education; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

My Department provides a range of special schemes designed to overcome barriers to employment encountered by people with disabilities. Included is a personal reader service for the visually handicapped.

These special schemes are currently being evaluated and proposals for their future development will be published soon.
