HC Deb 14 February 1994 vol 237 cc641-2W
Mrs. Bridget Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people were placed in employment by Lewisham's job centres in each month since April 1992.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Responsibility for the subject of the question 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 Mrs. Bridget Prentice, dated 14 February 1994: The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about the number of people placed into employment by Lewisham Jobcentres in each month since April 1992. There are two Jobcentres in close proximity in the Lewisham district. Lewisham and Catford. Jobseekers from Lewisham also use the Catford Jobcentre so I have shown the information required for both of these offices on the tables attached. I hope this is helpful.
