HC Deb 19 April 1983 vol 41 cc66-7W
Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if any transfer of funds will be made from money allocated to the youth training scheme to finance the armed forces youth training scheme.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Because the youngsters in the armed services scheme would otherwise be eligible for the youth training scheme there will be an appropriate reduction in the youth training scheme budget, and a corresponding amount will be available for the armed services youth training scheme.

Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he consulted the Manpower Services Commission about the proposals of Her Majesty's Government for an armed forces youth training scheme.

Mr. Peter Morrison

No.
