HC Deb 04 December 1979 vol 975 c118W
59. Mr. Lyell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he is taking to improve liaison between the unemployment benefit offices and jobcentres.

Mr. Jim Lester

I have ordered officials of this Department to work with officials of the Manpower Services Commission employment services division to consider as a matter of priority those aspects of liaison which concern the application of the rules about the unemployed accepting jobs which are suitable and available.
