§ Mr. LeightonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what were the numbers of staff in post in(a) the Inner London, North, (b) the Inner London, South, (c) the East London Training Agency offices and (d) the Docklands liaison group, during each of the past two years and currently.
§ Mr. NichollsThe average numbers of staff-in-post for Inner London, North, Inner London, South and East London Training Agency area offices for the last two years and currently are listed in Table 1.
When first set up in September 1987 the work of the Docklands liaison group was undertaken by Training Agency East London area office staff. It is not therefore possible to give precise numbers of staff engaged on that work. The group became self contained in April 1988 and the average number of Employment Department staff in post during that year was 10.5. The same number of staff were in post on 31 March 1989.
