asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will state the number of people currently receiving training on special courses sponsored by the Government.

Mr. Alan Clark

The total number of people covered by special employment and training measures at the end of January 1984 was estimated to be 660,000. Up to 531,000 will have received some form of training or other preparation for employment, but the type and content will vary according to the particular measure and project involved.
