I have not recently received any representations from this Association.

Is my right hon. Friend aware that if he has not received them, they are on the way? Further, is he aware that 23 per cent. of the unemployed in Wales are disabled persons as compared with 5 per cent. of the unemployed for the rest of the United Kingdom, and will he, therefore, regard this question as one of special urgency for Wales?

The hon. Member's Question related to representations received. He says that they are on the way. Possibly they have taken the wrong turning.
