§ 16. Mr. David Huntasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many workers in the United Kingdom his Department estimates have received training through grants given under the European social fund since 1973.
§ Mr. WaddingtonI regret that reliable information is not available on the total number of people who have received training through schemes assisted by the fund. However, the social fund provides significant support for training and related measures in the Community; in 1980, the United Kingdom was allocated some £135 million under the fund.
