HC Deb 06 November 1975 vol 899 cc273-4W
Sir P. Bryan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many jobs for school leavers will be created by the job creation programme in Humberside.

Mr. Harold Walker

Priority will be given to young people under the Manpower Services Comission's job creation programme, which will provide up to 15,000 jobs in Great Britain. The number of jobs in each locality will depend on potential sponsors coming forward with suitable labour intensive projects. So far, the Commission has received only one application from Humberside and it is receiving urgent cosideration.

Sir George Young

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many jobs for school leavers will be created by the job creation programme in the London borough of Ealing.

Mr. Harold Walker

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the job creation programme will create up to 15,000 jobs, and that priority will be given to young people. The number of jobs created in any locality will depend on potential sponsors proposing suitable labour intensive projects. So far no applications have been received from Ealing but if any are forthcoming they will be urgently considered.
