Dr. Godman

asked the Paymaster General what is the total number of persons registered on community programme placements in Greenock and Port Glasgow at the latest available date.

Mr. Lee

It is not possible to give information exactly in the form requested. However, at the end of October, the latest date for which statistics are available, there were 5,333 people employed on the community programme in the Renfrewshire area. This includes the areas of Greenock and Port Glasgow.
