§ 76. Mr. Robert C. Brownasked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the most recent figures for the total number of job vacancies at careers offices in Great Britain; and what is the ratio of vacancies to unemployed.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkOn 7 June 1985, there were 15,015 unfilled vacancies at careers offices in Great Britain. Valid ratios of vacancies to unemployment cannot be calculated because many vacancies for which young people are eligible are not notified to careers offices. For example, many young people find employment through jobcentres.
