Ms. Harman

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) how many new jobs have been created by the task force initiative in Peckham;

(2) if he will list the new jobs created by the task force initiative in Peckham;

(3) what is the cost per job created by the north Peckham task force initiative in Peckham;

(4) how many further jobs he expects to be created as a direct result of the task force initiative in Peckham;

(5) how many of the new jobs created by the north Peckham task force have been filled by people resident in Peckham.

Mr. Forth

[holding answer 2 December 1988]: I refer to my reply given to the hon. Member on 19 December at columns 19-21. The prime objective of the north Peckham task force is not to create jobs but to give local people appropriate skills to enable them to compete effectively for existing jobs in the buoyant London labour market.
