§ 28. Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to introduce new measures to alleviate unemployment.
Mr. JacksonOn top of the job placement advice and assistance to which all unemployed people are entitled, we are offering some 840,000 places on our programmes this financial year and almost one million next year to help the unemployed back to work. This package of nationally available measures represents the most comprehensive range of practical help ever and fully meets the differing needs of all unemployed people.
