HC Deb 11 December 1981 vol 14 c505W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will ensure that no element of compulsion is introduced as part of future training schemes for the young unemployed.

Mr. Alison

The Government have consistently voiced their opposition to compulsion. The Secretary of State will be making an announcement shortly on the Government's plans for training young people who are unemployed.
