HC Deb 09 December 1980 vol 995 cc328-9W
23. Mr. Haselhurst

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied with monitoring procedures for participants in training and work experience schemes funded by the Manpower Services Commission.

Mr. Jim Lester

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that detailed monitoring procedures have been drawn up to ensure that training and work experience schemes funded under the youth opportunities programmes are operating correctly. Resources constraints have led to some reduction in the frequency of monitoring visits, but the matter is kept under constant review.
