HC Deb 22 July 1969 vol 787 c362W
Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what is the average cost incurred in the attempt to place an individual in employment through one of her employment exchanges.

Mr. Fernyhough

The average cost per registration of the placing service for adults at employment exchanges in Great Britain in the financial year 1968–69 is estimated to have been about £2 15s. This includes the special service for disabled persons and some related activities which cannot be divorced from placing costs.
