HC Deb 13 April 1994 vol 241 cc192-4W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment (1) how many people have participated in work trials in 1993 in each region and for Great Britain as a whole; and how many participants have secured full-time or part-time employment with their sponsoring employer;

(2) how many unemployed people have taken part in the job interview guarantee scheme in each region in each quarter of 1993; and how many secured full-time or part-time employment with their sponsoring employer.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Responsibility for the subject of the questions has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its chief executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.

Letter from M. E. G. Fogden to Mr. Tony Lloyd, dated 13 April 1994: The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your questions to him about Work Trials and Job Interview Guarantee. You asked how many unemployed people have taken part in these schemes in each region in 1993 and how many participants have secured full or part-time employment with the sponsoring employer. The information is set out by region in the attached tables. The figures provided show totals of clients placed into full and part-time work as we do not collect this information separately. I hope this is helpful.
