§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Employment, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, North-East, on 16 January 1980—[Official Report, c. 751–2]—how many people are likely to go without training as a result of the loss of 100 posts in the special programmes division.
