§ Mr. Charles Wardle asked the Paymaster General what research his Department has carried out in relation to employment and unemployment in inner city areas.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkSince 1980 the Department of Employment has commissioned a number of research projects which provided information relevant to employment and unemployment in inner city areas. I am sending my hon. Friend brief details of these projects, which also contain details of three projects planned to start in 1986, and will place a copy in the Library.
The Manpower Services Commission also conducts research, some of which is related to employment and unemployment in inner city areas.
