To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to extend the Employment Service freephone services in Scotland. [15598]

Miss Widdecombe

Responsibility for the subject of the question 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. Malcolm Bruce, dated 23 March 1995: The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about what plans the Employment Service (ES) has to extend freephone services in Scotland. While we are continuously reviewing the services we provide to clients in rural areas, there are no plans at present to extend the freephone facility.
