HC Deb 28 February 1985 vol 74 c222W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the allocation of places on the community programme in Basildon.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The Basildon area currently has more places on the community programme in proportion to the incidence of long-term unemployment than most other areas in the south-east. At the end of January 1985, the latest date for which figures are available, it had 338 filled places.
