§ Mrs. RocheTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many registered disabled people are employed in his Department; and what percentage this is of the total.
§ Mr. Lang[holding answer 23 March 1994]: There are 81 registered disabled people—1.3 per cent. of staff—who are recorded as employed in my Department. However, in a recent anonymous staff survey about disability in the workplace, which covered an additional 2,058 Scottish Office staff in associated departments and on loan and secondment, 131—(1.6 per cent.—indicated that they were currently registered disabled.
