§ Mr. Teddy TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will ensure that persons on Government training schemes will continue to enjoy the conditions applicable at the time of their embarking on the courses; and if he will take steps to restore the travel allowance to Mrs. P. Horsley of 9 Byron avenue, Southend on Sea, Essex for the final four weeks of her course at the Manor college, South Benfleet.
Mr. JacksonThe Essex training and enterprise council is responsible for Mrs. Horsley's training. Essex TEC is contractually obliged to ensure that employment training and youth training trainees already in training in its area immediately prior to the start of the financial year 1991–92 should remain in training, be offered an individual training plan identical, or closely similar to that formerly being pursued, and should be offered terms and conditions of training, remuneration and assistance towards support costs at least as good, item by item, as those previously available to those trainees. My officials are looking into Mrs. Horsley's situation in these terms, and I will write to my hon. Friend shortly when I have their findings.
