§ Mr. FranksTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the future of the replan programme for the adult unemployed.
Mr. JacksonReplan has been successful in focusing the attention of the education service on the needs of the adult unemployed, and is having wider benefits in encouraging new approaches by providers. The programme will continue in its present form until October 1991. The Government will conduct a policy review of the programme and its objectives later this year, drawing on the available evaluations of replan initiatives and taking into account changes in the context of employment and training. Decisions about the future of the programme after 1991 will be announced in the autumn.
