Mr. Carter
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the current employment situation.
Mr. Whitelaw
Employment is at present seriously affected by the restrictions on the use of electricity made necessary by the reduction of coal deliveries to power stations. As soon as the supply of coal is adequate, electricity restrictions can be lifted and employment prospects improved.
