HC Deb 18 November 1986 vol 105 c170W
50. Mr. Holt

asked the Paymaster General how many people have been given financial assistance to relocate when obtaining employment in the south, south-east or East Anglia.

Mr. Lee

During the financial year ending 31 March 1986 the Manpower Services Commission's employment transfer scheme assisted 1,235 unemployed people to move to take up work in the south east region (which includes East Anglia) and 429 to move to London region. These figures do not include moves made by unemployed people within these two regions.
