On the question of raising the quota, some consideration is being given to that. The fact is that some firms are employing as many as 16 per cent. of disabled 'persons. I may mention one example. If hon. Members took the trouble to look at an exhibition in Oxford Street, they would find that there is a famous motor firm with a department completely staffed by disabled men. The question of the quota is under consideration, but there are difficulties about it.
