HC Deb 05 March 1985 vol 74 c460W
19. Mr. Haynes

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has any plans to increase the opportunity for early retirement for the over-60s.

Mr. Alan Clark

My right hon. Friend announced in the House on 12 November 1984 that the full-time job release scheme, due to end on 31 March 1985, would continue until 31 March 1986, and that we would be revising the present part-time job release scheme to make it more attractive to both employers and employees.
