Answer

Mr. Cox: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many disablement workshops there are in each London borough authority area. [24534] Mr. Alan Howarth: I have been asked to reply. Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its Chief Executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given. Letter from Leigh Lewis to Mr. Tom Cox, dated 28 January 1998: The Secretary of State for Social Security has asked me to reply to your question about the number of disabled workshops in each London Borough Authority area. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as the Employment Service Chief Executive. The Employment's Service's Supported Employment Programme provides employment for severely disabled people who would not otherwise be able to obtain or retain employment. The Programme provides funding for the following workshops for disabled people in the London Boroughs: _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
