HC Deb 23 March 1995 vol 257 c293W
Ms Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what records of active job seeking he expects to be kept by claimants who have problems with reading and writing, or whose first language is not English; and if he will made a statement. [15174]

Miss Widdecombe

Clients who have problems with reading and writing, or whose first language is not English, are not expected to keep written records. They are asked to provide a verbal account of the steps they have taken to seek work. If they have particular difficulties, I would expect the Employment Service to offer them appropriate advice and assistance.
