HC Deb 26 May 1999 vol 332 cc188-9W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what representations he has received concerning disability leave agreements. [85154]

Ms Hodge

We have had no specific representations about disability leave agreements, but the idea of disability leave has been discussed recently by the Disability Rights Task Force and the Advisory Committee on Disabled People in Employment and Training (ACDET) Group looking at job retention. Voluntary disability leave agreements between employers and employees can help people with disabilities play a full part in working life.
