§ Sir Gerard Vaughanasked the Paymaster General how many jobs are currently being provided in Reading by 560W YTS and other schemes for which his Department is responsible; and how this compares with the number of jobs provided in or near April 1979.
§ Mr. TrippierSome 3,200 people are currently supported by our employment and training measures in Reading. Because of the basis on which local statistics are collected, an unknown proportion may fall in areas outside the local authority district. I regret that we do not hold local figures for 1979.
