Miss Widdecombe

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

Letter from M. E. G. Fogden to Mr. Malcolm Bruce, dated 21 February 1995: The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about the locations of job vacancy display hoards in libraries, community centres and post offices in Scotland and the cost of maintaining these boards. The information required is listed by Regional and Island Council Authorities in the enclosed table. The costs (where quoted) include only postage, telephone and fax charges. They do not include any amount for staff time either in the Jobcentres or at the vacancy board locations. Where costs are not shown nil costs apply. I hope this is helpful.
