HC Deb 03 July 1985 vol 82 c164W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how much the Manpower Services Commission has spent on projects involving sports clubs in each of the last two years; what expenditure is planned in the current year and 1986; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Information about the amount of money spent on sports clubs under the community programme is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will take steps to increase the Manpower Services Commission ceiling fixed in 1982 of £15,000 for projects involving sports clubs.

Mr. Peter Morrison

I understand from the Manpower Services Commission that it is already reviewing its internal guidance about projects involving sports clubs. I have asked that my hon. Friend be informed of the results of the review.
