HC Deb 17 January 1978 vol 942 c154W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many of the 16,000 redundancies in South-West Yorkshire notified to his Department in the last two years have been in West Yorkshire.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that 7,655 of the 16,000 redundancies notified as due to occur in South-West Yorkshire in the last two years, occurred in West Yorkshire.

Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many of the 25,201 jobs in West Yorkshire, for which the Government have provided temporary employment subsidy since August 1975, have eventually been lost through redundancy.

Mr. Golding

I regret the information requested is not available, but the evidence suggests that the majority of jobs supported by TES continue after subsidy ceases.
