§ Mr. Doverasked the. Secretary of State for Employment whether any change will be made to the cash limit of the Manpower Services Commission.
§ Mr. TebbitSubject to Parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimates, the total grant-in-aid to the Manpower Services Commission will be increased from £889.744 million to £992.030 million. The increase will be found from the contingency reserve and so does not add to planned spending totals.
An additional £102.832 million is required by the MSC to meet an increase in demand for places under the youth opportunities programme and to support longer-term training of young persons but there are off-setting savings of £0.546 million for jobcentre advertising. The increase in the total grant-in-aid will require consequential adjustments to the following cash limits:
