HC Deb 09 May 1995 vol 259 cc435-6W
20. Mrs. Angela Knight

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what the "Too Old, Who Says?" campaign aims to achieve; and what assessment he has made of how successful it has been. [21637]

Miss Widdecombe

The aim of the campaign is to counter age discrimination in the workplace. Through the "Too Old, Who Says?" booklet, supporting roadshows and media coverage, we offer help, advice and support to older people seeking work. It is too early to judge the success of the campaign which is still on-going. The initial response has been very encouraging.

23. Mr. David Shaw
