HC Deb 07 May 1980 vol 984 c109W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how professional and executive standards are defined for the purpose of identifying whether or not an unemployed person is included on the professional and executive register.

Mr. Jim Lester

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that there are no set criteria for determining eligibility to enrol with professional and exeutive reruitment, the general rule being that all persons may enrol provided they are qualified, academically, by training or by experience, to obtain posts in the occupational areas concerned.
