HC Deb 09 July 1991 vol 194 cc350-1W
Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what were the amounts of allocations agreed from the European social fund for employment and training schemes in the Avon training area for the years commencing 1 April 1989, 1990 and 1991.

Mr. Forth

Allocations for the European social fund are determined on a calendar year basis. The amounts per calendar year for individual schemes supported outside the Government sector in Avon are as follows:

Year Amount £
1989 478,387
1990 490,697
1991 648,782

Allocations for 1991 have not yet been finalised and are therefore provisional. In addition to these specific allocations, the Avon area benefits from the European social fund through support for national programmes such as employment training and youth training.
