§ Mr. John Fraserasked the Secretary of State for Employment what changes he proposes in the cost, extent and services of job centres in Lambeth.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe Manpower Services Commission is to consider proposals for the future development of the employment service. These proposals involve the re-organisation of the Jobcentre network (with more jobcentres overall) and the use of recent advances in technology to provide services which are more accessible to the public and better geared to local needs at a reduced cost. At this stage it is not possible to say what these proposals would mean for particular parts of the country.
