Mr. Clifford Williams
asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what is the percentage of registered disabled persons in England and Wales, respectively.
Mr. Fernyhough
Registered disabled persons in England are 2·5 per cent. of the estimated total civilian labour force; in Wales the percentage is 3·8. Registration under the Disabled Persons Acts is, of course, voluntary.
