asked the Secretary of State for Employment if, in view of the increasing pressure for the management of Remploy to cut losses by improved efficiency, and thus to sign on personnel who are less severely disabled, he will increase the grant he makes to it.

Adequate financial resources are made available to Remploy to enable it to provide facilities for a steady increase in the number of severely disabled people year by year. There is no pressure on Remploy to recruit less severely disabled personnel in order to reduce losses and increase efficiency.
