§ Mr. Duffyasked the Secretary of State for Employment why the Sheffield district of the Employment Service Agency is to be part of the East Midlands Area; and where the headquarters of the Employment Service Agency for the Yorkshire and Humberside region is to be located.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThe Sheffield and Doncaster districts will be part of the East Midlands Employment Service Area. The general policy is that separate metropolitan countries should be included in separate management areas, as in the case of the South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire metropolitan counties. The Employment Service Area office for West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and Humberside—the East Pennine area—will be in Leeds.
