To ask the Scottish Government what legal protections are in place to ensure that disabled people are safe from any disability discrimination during the employment seeking process.
The Scottish Government has no functions concerning the legal protections in place to protect disabled people from disability discrimination during the employment-seeking process. These functions are reserved to the UK Parliament, as set out in Section 5 of the Scotland Act 1998.
