§ Mr. Cormackasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will take further steps to encourage the registration of employment vacancies.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithI am convinced that increased notification of vacancies will flow from the provision of a more effective employment service. Plans for modernisation are moving ahead. Early next year a re-styled computer assisted service will be introduced at professional and executive level. In subsequent months a number of new style employment offices will be opened, incorporating self-service facilities which will lead to an increased flow of vacancies.
