Mr. Rooker
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will consider introducing compulsory notification of vacancies if the total unemployed exceeds 1 million.
Mr. John Fraser
Previous experience of the compulsory notification of vacancies proved that the system was time consuming, inhibited the most effective use of staff resources and was difficult to enforce, and I am not convinced that it would help to reduce unemployment.
