HC Deb 28 April 1983 vol 41 cc416-7W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment haw many jobs it is estimated remain unfilled due to lack of suitable qualified applicants.

Mr. Peter Morrison

I regret that no specific estimates can be provided.

At any one time a large number of vacancies exists, but the available evidence suggests that employers are able to fill most of them without difficulty.
