HC Deb 01 February 1977 vol 925 c156W
46. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make it the practice for the monthly unemployment figures to include an item showing the number of people employed in Government schemes specifically designed to create jobs such as the job creation scheme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Golding

I am always ready to give on request the latest available information on the Government's special measures to reduce unemployment including the Manpower Services Commission's job creation programme. It would not, however, be appropriate to give this information with the monthly unemployment figures.
