Mr. Michael Forsyth
Responsibility for the subject of the questions has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its chief executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from M. E. G. Fogden to Mr. Tony Lloyd, dated 13 April 1994:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your questions to him about Work Trials and Job Interview Guarantee.
You asked how many unemployed people have taken part in these schemes in each region in 1993 and how many participants have secured full or part-time employment with the sponsoring employer. The information is set out by region in the attached tables. The figures provided show totals of clients placed into full and part-time work as we do not collect this information separately.
I hope this is helpful.
