HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 c362W
Mr. Wainwright

asked the Paymaster General if he will now take steps to gather information as to how many members of area manpower boards are registered unemployed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I see no useful purpose in collecting such information since employment status is not necessarily a factor in nominating people to area manpower boards (AMBs).
