§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Employment in what circumstances 241W the job creation scheme has been used to employ persons to work on educational projects on the premises of local education authority owned schools.
§ Mr. GoldingI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that job creation project applications, to employ persons to work on educational projects on the premises of local authority-owned schools, may be approved when the work involved provides new employment opportunities, on work which would not be carried out without Job Creation Programme funding, and which would not be a duplication or extension of the sponsors' usual activities—for example, preparation of special visual aids, road safety instruction for infants, and educational theatre for schools in country areas.
