§ Mr. HeppellTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what measures have been taken to alleviate the problems of people made unemployed in the privatised gas, water and electricity industries.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythPeople who are unfortunate enough to lose their jobs from any sector can benefit from the Department's extensive range of measures designed to help them find new jobs, re-train or set up in business. This year, the Employment Service and training and enterprise councils will provide around 1.5 million opportunities to help unemployed people find the best route back to employment.
