§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Paymaster General whether, pursuant to his reply of 28 November, Official Report, column 390, he will make it his policy that participation in the job training scheme after pilot stage will continue to be voluntary and that benefit sanctions will not apply to persons who do not accept offers or who leave courses prematurely.
§ Mr. TrippierI cannot anticipate whether the job training scheme pilots will be extended, or the terms on which that extension would take place.
