HC Deb 27 January 1986 vol 90 c356W
Mr. Wainwright

asked the Paymaster General how many vacancies currently available under the community programme are part-time; and what proportion this number represents of the total number of advertised vacancies under this scheme.

Mr. Alan Clark

There were about 17,000 unfilled part-time community programme vacancies on 6 December, which was about 77 per cent. of the total number of unfilled vacancies. Part-time jobs on the programme are defined as those involving work for less than 35 hours per week.
