§ Mr. Tom ClarkeTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment when he last discussed with(a) the Confederation of British Industry and (b) the Trades Union Congress the special difficulties experienced by disabled people seeking work.
Mr. Jackson[holding answer 22 January 1991]:I have not discussed this subject with either organisation. However, both the Confederation of British Industry and the Trades Union Congress were invited by my Department to comment on the consultative document "Employment and Training for People with Disabilities", which was published on 29 June 1990, and on the summary paper, "Evaluation of Special Schemes for People with Disabilities", which was published on 2 November 1990.
