§ Mr. Ridleyasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the estimated average cost per placing by the Employment Service Agency—excluding the Professional and Executive Register—in 1974, placings being defined as those which have lasted for 10 weeks or more.
§ Mr. John FraserI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the calculation cannot be made because the Employment Service Agency does not collect information about the duration of its placings.
