HC Deb 07 December 1981 vol 14 c286W
53. Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will consider extending the pilot scheme on the enterprise allowance to the whole country; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The Manpower Services Commission will operate the enterprise allowance scheme in limited areas to test the demand for such a scheme and its potential effectiveness. Any extension of the scheme will depend on the results of the evaluation study we intend to undertake. Full details of the pilot scheme will be announced shortly.
