HC Deb 09 March 1998 vol 308 c36W
39. Mr. Mitchell

To ask the President of the Council to ask the hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire (Mr. Kirkwood), representing the House of Commons Commission, what plans the Commission has to offer jobs to young people under the new deal. [31446]

Mr. Kirkwood

Recruitment of staff is a matter for Heads of individual Departments of the House but I understand that the possibility of taking on Welfare to Work trainees is being actively considered and if appropriate places exist, young trainees could be in place in the early summer
