§ Mr. Ian McCartneyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will place a copy of the review report on the travel-to-interview scheme and the date on which the report was based in the Library.[19102]
§ Mr. ForthResponsibility 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 Mike Fogden to Mr. Ian McCartney, dated 5 March 1996:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about placing a copy of the review report on the Travel to Interview Scheme and the raw data upon which the report was based in the House of Commons Library.
It is anticipated that a copy of the report will be placed in the House of Commons Library. Research reports are designed to be comprehensive in their content so it is not normal practice to place copies of the raw data in the Library.
I hope this is helpful.
§ Mr. McCartneyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many people unemployed for between four and 13 weeks, by region, have applied for, and how many have been granted, assistance from the travel-to-interview scheme since its inception. [19100]

The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question on how many people unemployed for between four and thirteen weeks, by region, have applied for, and how many have been granted, assistance from the Travel to Interview Scheme since its inception.
I am unable to provide the information you ask for, as my Jobcentres do not record how long people who apply for TIS have been unemployed. However, during a recent evaluation it was recorded that 26% of applications were from people unemployed for less than 13 weeks.
I hope this is helpful.
