HC Deb 04 December 1979 vol 975 cc106-7W
22. Mr. Needham

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied with the relationship between the careers service and jobcentres.

Mr. Jim Lester

Generally, yes. The two services work together to ensure that young people get the maximum benefit from the provision of two different services which between them respond to the varied needs of youngsters. However, the Government and the MSC are conscious of the need to ensure that the relationship is made as effective as possible, and are currently studying ways of making improvements.
