Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will review the special temporary employment programme so as to relax some of the conditions at present laid down with a view to widening opportunities for the growing number of unemployed.

Mr. Jim Lester

The operation of the programme will be reviewed in the autumn. The hon. Member's suggestion will be taken into account.
