HC Deb 26 November 1970 vol 807 c193W
56. Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will improve and etxend the new industrial incentive scheme offered to employers to engage men and women over 45 years of age; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dudley Smith

No. The scheme does not take effect until 1st January, 1971, and its operation will be kept under review. Its scope has been limited so as to concentrate its benefits on those who need them most.
