Mr. Colvin
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish a table of the percentage of (a) private sector employers and (b) public sector employers satisfying their quota obligations under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1944, in each of the last five years; and if he will also give the most recent available figures.
Mr. Jackson
I regret that the information is not available in the form requested. However, tables showing the number and percentage of registered disabled people employed by a wide range of individual public sector employers are published in the Employment Gazette,
| Percentage of registered disabled people employed | |||||
| 1986 per cent. | 1987 per cent. | 1988 per cent. | 1989 per cent. | 1990 per cent. | |
| Private sector (approximate figures) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Public sector (based on gazette figures) | 0.8 | 0.8 | 0.8 | 0.8 | 0.8 |
