§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if she will list all current employment training schemes currently available to those out of work; what is the rate of allowance in each case; and how many male and females were taking part in each scheme at 1 November.
§ Mr. McLoughlinEmployment training is the training programme for unemployed people. At October 1992, the latest date for which information is available, there were about 122,000 people in training in Great Britain. The allowance paid to trainees is equivalent to their benefit entitlement immediately before joining the programme plus £10 a week. During April-July 1992, the latest period available, 68 per cent. of employment training entrants were men and 32 per cent. women.
