HC Deb 22 November 1976 vol 919 c946W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the policy of the Manpower Services Commission towards (a) finding jobs for workers who want to be self-employed, and (b) finding workers for companies who have self-employed vacancies.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the Employment Service Agency does not accept responsibility for bringing together companies who offer employment on a self-employed basis and workers who want to be self-employed. This policy is aimed at safeguarding the interests of workers who may not be fully aware of the legal implications and responsibilities of being self-employed.
