HC Deb 12 July 1978 vol 953 c585W
Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the jobcentres which have operated for a one-year period or longer which have not succeeded in reducing the cost per placing compared with the office they replaced.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the identification of any such jobcentres could be made only at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish the (a) average, (b) lowest and (c) highest cost per placing by jobcentres which have operated for more than a full year.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the information required could be made available only at disproportionate cost.
