Mr. Stanbrook
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the reason for the delay in the construction of the building to house the Orpington job-centre.
Mr. Kaufman
I have been asked to reply.The Orpington jobcentre is being provided by the Property Services Agency of my Department as agent for the Employment Services Agency. An increase in the estimated cost made it necessary to re-examine the project for possible economies and this has led to some delay. The contract will be let and the building work put in hand shortly.
