Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he has taken to safeguard basic literacy and numeracy training from budgetary restrictions in the employment training programme.

Mr. Lang

I am satisfied that the Training Agency has sufficient resources to meet the demand for training places for unemployed people with special needs in relation to literacy and/or numeracy.
