§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is Wales' share of the £30 million recently allocated to the Manpower Services Commission to create jobs; and what proposals the Government has for increasing this allocation.
§ Mr. John FraserI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that it has made no rigid allocation of Job Creation Programme funds to particular areas. The provisional amount for Wales is £3–5 million. Final allocation in Wales, as in other areas, will depend very much on the proposals for projects which sponsors put forward to the Commission.
