HC Deb 03 May 1994 vol 242 c426W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table indicating for each local authority in Wales(a) the number of registered disabled people whom it employs, (b) the percentage this represents of its work force and (c) how many disabled people each authority should have employed to meet the quota established under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Acts of 1944 and 1958.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Information about the quota position of individual employers is treated as confidential and is not disclosed without the agreement of the employers concerned. Local authorities in Wales are among a wide range of public sector employers who have agreed to specific information about their employment of registered disabled people being published in theEmployment Gazette. The information which is published in accordance with this agreement is the number of registered disabled people employed and the percentage that this represents of the employer's total work force. The latest information, which relates to 1 June 1992, was published in the April 1993 Employment Gazette, a copy of which is in the Library of the House. Information relating to 1 June 1993 will be published as soon as possible.
