HC Deb 23 June 1994 vol 245 c257W
Sir Harold Walker

To ask the Lord President of the Council what is the number and percentage of registered disabled persons employed by the House of Commons; and what would be the number and proportion equivalent to the statutory quota.

Mr. Beith

I have been asked to reply, on behalf of the House of Commons Commission.

Of a total of 1,404 staff employed by the House of Commons Commission 16 are registered disabled persons; this represents 1.1 per cent. of the work force. The statutory quota, 3 per cent., for the current complement would be 42.
