§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many new jobs he estimates could be created for a sum of £8 million, using the various mechanisms at his disposal.
§ Mr. GoldingThe relevant special employment measures to support new jobs for which I am responsible are designed to provide temporary employment opportunities for the unemployed 207W through the special temporary employment programme and to provide temporary support for expansions in employment through the small firms employment subsidy. Assuming that the £8 million was divided equally between these two schemes, the number of new jobs supported would be about 9,000.
