HC Deb 21 June 1989 vol 155 cc186-8W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what implications his policy of privatising employment services have on future receipts of grants for those services from the European social fund; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Cope

[holding answer 14 June 1989]: Professional and Executive Recruitment has already been privatised, and arrangements for the sale of the Skills Training Agency are well advanced. Such initiatives do not affect support under the European social fund.
