§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he plans to increase in 1991 the number of disabled people employed as a result of the sheltered placement scheme; and if he will make a statement.

The sheltered placement scheme is the responsibility of my Department. The Department is committed to support for the scheme and will be reviewing, later in the year, the arrangements for funding in the context of the Department's expenditure plans.
