Employment Creation Programmes

HC Deb 03 February 1987 vol 109 c610W

60. Dr. Godman

asked the Paymaster General what funds he proposes to allocate to each of the Government's employment creation programmes in 1987–88; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Details of planned provision for my Department's enterprise and job creation, labour market efficiency and employment measures programmes are contained in chapter 3.7 of "The Governments Expenditure Plans 1987–88 to 1989–90 Volume II" (Cm. 56-II) a copy of which is in the Library. On 28 January I announced a further expansion of certain programmes which will increase my Department's total provision beyond that shown in Cm. 56-II, without adding to total public expenditure. A detailed breakdown of the new total expenditure will be contained in Class VII of the Government's expenditure estimates, to be published on March 17.
