asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he has received a statement from the Society for the Rehabilitation of the Handicapped containing a request for the enactment of legislation giving handicapped people a fair chance of employment, and if he will state what proposals he has for the future employment of such persons.

Mr. Byrne
I have not received a request from the Society for the Rehabilitation of the Handicapped for the introduction of legislation to provide employment for handicapped people. I am not sure that the solution of this problem is to be found in legislation, but I will consider carefully any proposals the society may wish to put before me.
