HC Deb 25 February 1983 vol 37 cc555-6W
Mr. Field

asked the Prime Minister how many semiskilled and unskilled workers have gained help from the employment transfer scheme at the latest available date.

The Prime Minister

Comprehensive statistics are not available in the form requested. However a sample survey of the 5,078 beneficiaries of the employment transfer scheme in 1982 suggests that about 37 per cent. of them were semi-skilled or unskilled.
