asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the present employment rehabilitation centres; and which are the subject of proposals for closure or contraction.

[pursuant to his reply, 18 January 1980]: The present employment rehabilitation centres (ERCS) are listed below. I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that current proposals include (a) the closure of one of the three ERCs in North-East England and (b) experimentation with new approaches to employment rehabilitation at Garston Manor and North Staffs ERCs which will involve a small reduction in occupancy at these two centres.
