HC Deb 08 June 1981 vol 6 cc24-5W
Mr. Wheeler

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many job vacancies have been filled in the Greater London area since 4 April.

Mr. Peter Morrison

This figure is not available. However, the number of job vacancies filled by the jobcentres and employment offices of the Manpower Services Commission in the Greater London area between 4 April 1981 and 8 May 1981 was 18,809. The actual number of job vacancies filled in Greater London during the period will have been much greater, as the percentage of all vacancies in the area filled by the Manpower Services Commission is estimated to be about 20 per cent.
