Mr. Hall

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assessment he has made of which sectors of the economy private employment agencies primarily operate in. [16473]

Mr. John M. Taylor

The labour force survey of spring 1996 shows that, of people who describe themselves as agency temps, nearly a third are in banking, finance or business services, a quarter are in manufacturing, over a tenth are in public administration, education and health.
