To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many job vacancies were notified to the Chelmsford Jobcentre in each of the last six months. [158189]

Ms Jowell

[holding answer 23 April 2001]Responsibility 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 Mark Neale to Mr. Simon Burns, dated April 2001: As the Employment Service is an Executive Agency, the Secretary of State for Education and Employment has asked Leigh Lewis to reply to your question about the number of job vacancies notified to the Chelmsford Jobcentre in each of the last six months. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to Mr Lewis as Chief Executive of the Agency. I am replying on Mr Lewis' behalf. Vacancies notified to Chelmsford Jobcentre were as followed:

Number
October 2000 469
November 2000 770
December 2000 311
January 2001 651

I hope this is helpful.
