HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 c340W
74. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will state the amount of money spent on the Community Industry Scheme functioning in the Mexborough and District area up to the last available date; and if he will make a statement on the future plans for this scheme.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The total expenditure on Community Industry in Mexborough up to 30th September, 1972, was £15,338. This includes a proportion of the cost of running Community Industry's headquarters.

A report recommending an expansion of the scheme has been submitted to my right hon. Friend by the National Association of Youth Clubs and this is being sympathetically considered.
