That this House expresses its concern at the decision of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to proceed with large scale voluntary redundancies and its intention to follow this with significant numbers of compulsory redundancies at its London site; notes the serious concerns expressed by key stakeholders such as HM Treasury and the Bank of England about current and future risks to the quality of the ONS's statistical outputs as a result of the loss of key staff; believes that ONS's plans to close its London site constitute a serious risk to vital public services; and therefore calls on the ONS Executive Management Board to reconsider its decisions.

That this House expresses grave concern at the announcement on Tuesday 1st October 1996 by R. R. Donnelley UK of its intention to close its commercial printing facility in York which threatens 314 skilled printers' jobs; notes that the closure of ABB's York carriageworks together with other railway redundancies caused by privatisation and job losses in the food industry have already given York one of the highest increases in unemployment of any parliamentary constituency since the 1992 general election; and calls upon the President of the Board of Trade to instruct officials in the Government's Yorkshire and Humber office to meet R. R. Donnelly UK to create conditions which allow the threatened jobs to be saved.

That this House notes with grave concern that the Construction Industry Training Board has recently announced, without consultation with employees or local honourable Members, a restructuring of its operations and a relocation of its headquarters with total redundancies of 379 people at a cost of ??12.6 million; further notes that the relocation of its headquarters from West Norfolk to an, as yet to be acquired, new office block in Peterborough, will result in the loss of 291 jobs in a rural community; expresses disbelief that the board voted 9 to 6 to relocate to Peterborough without even considering the far cheaper option of retaining its headquarters in existing buildings; and urges the incoming Chairman, Mr Hugh Try, to recommend that these proposals are reversed.
