HC Deb 13 May 1976 vol 911 c217W
19. Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the measures he expects to take next further to reduce the level of unemployment.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The prospects for employment will greatly benefit from the new pay proposals announced last week. Selective employment measures will also make a major contribution. Last Wednesday my right hon. Friend announced an extra £15 million pounds for job creation and training, the fifth set of selective measures since last summer.

28. Mr. Marten

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking with his EEC partners to reduce unemployment.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I refer the hon. Gentleman to my right hon. Friend's speech during the Second Reading of the Finance Bill.—[Vol. 910, c. 846–7.]
