HC Deb 14 July 1978 vol 953 cc836-7W
Mr. Sandelson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will ensure that there is an early reorganisation of the district manpower committees of the Manpower Services Commission so as to provide the district manpower committees with clear and positive objectives and adequate resources with which to tackle more effectively at local level the problems of youth employment.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that a review of district manpower committees is currently being undertaken. The review is looking at the way the committees are working and is also considering the role and form of advisory machinery best suited to meet the Commission's needs in carrying out its functions.
