§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the reason for the fall in contribution by the European social fund to employment rehabilitation centres from 29 per cent. in 1978–79 to 18 per cent. in 1979–80.
§ Mr. Peter Morrison[pursuant to his reply, 9 March 1981, c. 239]: The figure of £2.4 million quoted in my reply to the hon. Member's question of 16 December related to money already received from the European social fund. A further £1.3 million allocated by the fund to employment rehabilitation costs in 1979–80 will be the subject of a final claim this year. If the claim is paid in full, the total contribution by the fund for 1979–80 will be 27.6 per cent.
