HC Deb 18 November 1971 vol 826 cc197-8W
Dr. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many local employment committees cover the areas of more than one employment exchange; and how many of these cover areas which are contained in travel-to-work areas.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Two hundred and sixteen local employment committees, that is almost 70 per cent. of the total, cover the areas of more than one employment exchange. In 92 cases, the area covered by the committee is the same as or smaller than a travel to work area.

Dr. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many employment exchange areas included in larger travel-to-work areas have their own separate local employment committees.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Sixty-three employment exchanges, the area of each of which is within a larger travel-to-work area, have their own separate local employment committees.
