I must apologise as I have a meeting at 3 o'clock so I will have to leave shortly. There is a reference on page 34 to a number of schemes the Department is running to "reduce barriers to the labour market for people with disabilities." Do we have a percentage figure for the level of unemployment among disabled people? If that figure is not available, perhaps the Minister could provide the figure for the percentage of disabled people who are in the workforce.
