HC Deb 17 July 1979 vol 970 c450W
Mr. Foster

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, in view of his statement that the net cost of the special temporary employment programme is less than half the gross cost, if he will now use special temporary employment programme as the basis for a substantial education and training programme for the long-term unemployed in areas of high unemployment like the North-East and South-West Durham, in particular.

Mr. Jim Lester

No.
