HC Deb 11 June 1999 vol 332 c438W
Dr. Kumar

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list the Government funds allocated to private sector companies for the provision of training for employees in the form of(a) capital grants and (b) infrastructure grants in each of the last three years; and if he will make a statement. [78303]

Mr. Wills

I have been asked to reply.

The Government do not fund private sector companies for training employees through capital grants. The Government do support private sector companies through infrastructure grants, including the SRB, but it would involve a disproportionate cost to identify the amount of funds from this source used for training employees.
