Efficiency Scrutiny

Mr. Hayward
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to undertake new efficiency scrutinies.

Mr. Jackson
The Department of Employment group is going through a period of significant reorganisation as a result of the relocation of work out of London, the establishment of the Employment Service as an executive agency, and the setting up of training and enterprise councils. I have therefore decided to set up an efficiency scrutiny to examine internal communications within the group.
