HC Deb 11 May 1976 vol 911 cc101-2W
Mr. Woof

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will state the programme of labour market studies by the European Commission.

Mr. John Grant

Eight studies have so far been agreed for 1975–76 covering job loss and creation in local labour markets, the characteristics of the unemployed, use of data from Community Labour Force Surveys, trends in job qualifications, retraining in the car industry, two aspects of employment forecasting, and documentation of existing research. Further studies are under consideration for 1976–77.
