HC Deb 20 July 1976 vol 915 c407W
30. Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many workers according to the latest available statistics have been covered by applications for the temporary employment subsidy; and how many redundancies are likely to be prevented between now and the end of the year by the operation of the scheme.

Mr. Golding

As at 9th July 1976, 104,811 workers are covered by applications approved and pending. It is estimated that a further 50,000 workers would have been helped before the scheme ends on 31st December 1976.
