HC Deb 03 November 1983 vol 47 c408W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons, both male and female, were placed in employment by the Workington jobcentre in the last month for which statistics are available.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Workington jobcentre placed 264 people in the five-week period ending 7 October 1983, the latest for which statistics are available. Separate figures for males and females are not compiled.

There is likely to have been a substantial number of people who found jobs in the area other than through the jobcentre. Nationally it is estimated that about a quarter of all engagements are made through jobcentres.
