HC Deb 25 May 1978 vol 950 c667W
Mr. Maurice Macmillan

asked the Prime Minister if the findings of the Central Policy Review Staff Study on unemployment will be published, in line with the Government's announced policy of more open government, and having regard to the seriousness of the unemployment situation.

The Prime Minister

As part of its normal remit to examine issues of major concern to the Government, the CPRS has over the past months undertaken some work on unemployement, but this has not included a report. The detailed figures on unemployment and the labour market which formed the factual background to the CPRS work are widely available through Department of Employment publications, and a full survey was published in November 1977 by the Manpower Services Commission in its document "Review and Plan 1977".
