HC Deb 28 April 1977 vol 930 cc378-9W
Mr. Mates

asked the Secretary of State for Employment which jobcentres are scheduled to be opened in Great Britain in 1977 are relocated offices and which are new to the areas concerned.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that, of the 100 jobcentres planned to be opened in Great Britain in the 1977–78 financial year, it is anticipated that approximately 20 will be sited in locations where there was no previous employment office. It is too early in the financial year to be able to give the locations of these offices.

Mr. Golding
