§ Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for Employment, how many temporary employment subsidies are currently being paid in the Leek parliamentary constituency.
§ Mr. GoldingI regret that I am unable to give information in the precise form requested—i.e., those currently being paid—as this could only be collected at disproportionate cost. We can say, however, that as at 3rd February 1978, the cumulative total of applications approved in the Leek employment office area, since 24th September 1975 when the scheme was extended to this area, was seven covering 762 workers.
