§ Mr. David Howellasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what are the highest, the average and the lowest salaries paid to the managers of employment exchanges in England and Wales.

§ Mr. DellInformation is not available in the form requested. Simple division of the cost of the adult employment service in the 1968–69 financial year by the total number of registrations produces a sum of slightly under £2. Division of the same cost by the number of placings produces a sum of slightly under £6. These costs exclude the special services for disabled persons and professional registrants but include some related activities which cannot be divorced from placings costs.
