§ Mr. Lathamasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will request the Manpower Services Commission to re-examine the availability of resources for mode B schemes serving rural areas in Leicestershire and to sustain the provision at current levels.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe Manpower Services Commission is currently finalising its plans for youth training scheme provision in Leicestershire for 1985–86. Mode B provision in the county in 1984–85 exceeded the demand from young people and in the light of that, and the availability of employer-based provision in mode A, some reduction in the number of mode B may be justified.
