HC Deb 02 June 1981 vol 5 c319W
19. Sir Anthony Meyer

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what funds the European Community has made available for the promotion of training in computer skills in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Peter Morrison

In 1980, allocations under the European social fund to the United Kingdom which can readily be identified as specifically for training in computer skills amounted to £689,697. In addition, a proportion of the fund's overall allocation goes towards computer skill training which forms part of other, more comprehensive training schemes. However, it is not possible to identify these further sums separately.
