§ Mrs. Renee Shortasked the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has to introduce the new technology job system, Supervacs, in order to improve efficiency in job finding in Wolverhampton; and how many jobs in the employment sector would result if Supervacs were introduced with jobcentres.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe computerised vacancy circulation and statistical recording system known as Supervacs will, on current plans, be introduced in Wolverhampton in summer 1987, as an enhancement to the existing computer system. The aim of Supervacs is to improve internal efficiency in jobcentres, to reduce staffing costs and to reduce wasted effort on the part of both employers and job seekers by ensuring that up-to-date information about vacancies is more speedily and readily available.
