HC Deb 23 January 1979 vol 961 c74W
26. Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons are currently in employment directly as a result of job saving arrangements made by his Department.

Mr. Golding

As part of the special employment measures, the temporary employment and the short-time working compensation scheme help employers preserve jobs. At the end of December 1978, 107,400 people were being supported by the former and a further 8,335 by the latter.
