HC Deb 25 February 1980 vol 979 c425W
Mr.Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the effect in Dundee in terms of cash budget and number of places created by Government cut-backs in the training opportunities programme and the community industry service.

Mr.Alexander Fletcher

There will be no reduction in the number of places provided in the Dundee area under either the training opportunities scheme or Community Industry in 1980–81. Provision is in fact being made for 1,330 entrants to the training opportunities scheme compared with 1,240 in 1979–80.
