Mr. MacGregor

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many jobs have been placed in the current year to date by the Professional and Executive Recruitment Service; and what is the percentage of such placements to applicants registered.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that in the current financial year to date 7,000 vacancies have been filled by PER. The number of placements when expressed as a percentage of the number of persons enrolling with PER in the same period is approximately 4½ per cent.

Mr. MacGregor

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is now the average cost per placement of each job placed by the Professional and Executive Recruitment Service; and what is the average salary for each job placed.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the most recent information on the average cost per placement by PER is as given in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Coventry, South-West (Mrs. Wise) on 11th October 1976.—[Vol. 917, c. 48.]
