HC Deb 29 January 1988 vol 126 c424W
Mr. Meacher

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what are the currently estimated gross and net costs for each financial year since 1982–83 for the following special employments measures: (i) the community programme, (ii) the enterprise allowance scheme, (iii) the young workers scheme, (iv) community industry,(v) the job release scheme and (vi) the job splitting scheme.

Mr. Cope

[pursuant to his reply 4 December 1987, c. 773–74]: I regret that there was an error in the table providing estimated gross costs for the employment measures. The gross costs of the enterprise allowance scheme (EAS) for 1983–84 and 1984–85 should be £23.2 million and £76.7 million and not £25 million and £79.6 million as given in the table.
