§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Employment what consideration has been given to the future of enterprise workshops when the present job creation programme ends.
§ Mr. GoldingI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that consideration is currently being given to the most appropriate form of financial assistance which can be given to small enterprise workshops after 1st April 1978 when the Commission's new programme for unemployed people is due to begin. Full account is being taken of the experience gained under the job creation programme, and there have been discussions with a number of interested organisations. It is hoped that details of the new arrangements will be available early in February.
