HC Deb 27 November 1972 vol 847 c24W
65. Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects to complete his investigations into the geographical mobility of labour.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

We are learning as we go along from the practical operation of the employment transfer scheme, which has been considerably extended since the hon. Gentleman last put down his question. In addition information will become available in coming months from the new earnings survey and the census. I want to consider how far these sources taken together provide an adequate basis for policy guidance before deciding whether major research is necessary.
