asked the Secretary of State for Employment if any vacancies are available at Remploy in Bridgend; and on what date the last vacancy for a sheltered person was filled.

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that there are currently no vacancies at Remploy, Bridgend, although six severely disabled people have recently been recruited and are due to start work there on 4 February. Previously one vacancy for a severely disabled worker was filled on 16 March 1979.
