§ Mr. BarnesTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list for his Department and each of the agencies for which he is responsible, if it uses the Employment Service's positive about disabled people symbol for(a) external recruitment and (b) internal recruitment and promotion. [11992]
§ Mrs. Angela KnightThe Employment Service's positive about disabled people symbol is one of the action points in the Department's action plan on disability introduced last year.
Of the Treasury's four agencies, one—the Royal Mint—currently uses the symbol for external recruitment. The Central Statistical Office, Paymaster and the Valuation Office agency are considering whether to become symbol users.
