HC Deb 08 February 1982 vol 17 c267W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons, both male and female, were placed in employment by the Workington jobcentre in the last month for which statistics are available.

Mr. Alison

Workington jobcentre placed 92 people—53 males and 39 females, in the 5-week period ending 14 January 1982, the latest for which statistics are available. There is likely to have been a substantial number of vacancies in the area not handled by employment offices of jobcentres. Nationally, the Commission has estimated from a 1977 survey that about a third of all vacancies are notified to it.
