Mr. Hardy
asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons are currently in employment directly as a result of job saving arrangements made by his Department.
Mr. Golding
As part of the special employment measures, the temporary employment and the short-time working compensation scheme help employers preserve jobs. At the end of December 1978, 107,400 people were being supported by the former and a further 8,335 by the latter.
