I will indeed meet the hon. Gentleman at his earliest possible convenience and mine.
Nick de Bois (Enfield North) (Con)

My hon. Friend is correct; more and more people are calling for disabled people to be in mainstream jobs. I believe in choice and that people should choose where they wish to work, but mainstream work is what most people must aim for.
