§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked 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 MorrisonWorkington jobcentre placed 139 people in the five week period ending 4 May 1984, the latest for which statistics are available. Separate figures for males and females are not compiled monthly.
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.
