HC Deb 28 June 1978 vol 952 cc584-5W
Mr. Maurice Macmillan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his estimate of the rise in unemployment over the next three months that would result from an immediate ending of (a) the temporary employment subsidy, (b) the Government job creation schemes, and (c) the youth opportunities programme.

Mr. Golding

On the assumption that all the people assisted by the measures in question became unemployed within three months as a result of the withdrawal of this support, my estimates of the increases in registered unemployed are as follows:

Temporary employment subsidy 100,000
Job creation schemes 62,000
Youth opportunities programme 33,000
