HC Deb 22 January 1988 vol 125 cc914-8W
Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many Manpower Services Commission community programme places were allocated to Greater London in 1987–88 if he will itemise the number of these places managed under the scheme by(a) each local authority, (b) each voluntary sector managing agency and (c) each private sector managing agency; and what are the main categories of beneficiary for each scheme.

Mr. Lee

The number of community programme places allocated to the Manpower Services Commission's London region for 1987–88 was 17,330.

It is not possible to itemise these places by the various managing agencies as requested as this information is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. However, the following information is available.

The total number of community programme projects and authorised places for the London region, analysed by project and sponsor type is as follows. Table 1 gives information about projects, and table 2 authorised places as at 14 October 1987, the latest date for which statistics are available.
