Work Opportunities: Disabled People Ian Lucas To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what steps he is taking to improve work opportunities for disabled people. Mrs. McGuire We have a range of programmes designed to provide help to people with disabilities and in the year to April 2007 these programmes supported more than 50,000 people to get into or retain employment. We are currently reviewing our employment services for disabled people and intend to consult on our proposals later in the year.
