§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people have been placed in work by jobcentres in the last month for which figures are available in (a) Kirkby and (b) Ormskirk.
§ Mr. Peter Morrison:Kirkby jobcentre placed 74 people and Ormskirk employment office placed 86 people in the four-week period ending 3 September 1982, the latest period for which statistics are available.
There is likely to be a substantial number of people who found jobs in these areas other than through jobcentres. Nationally, the Manpower Services Commission estimates that about a quarter of all engagements are made through their offices.
