HC Deb 30 March 1981 vol 2 c13W
Dr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, pursuant to his answer of 8 December 1980, Official Report, columns 443–44, what levels of allowances to young people on the youth opportunities programme he intends should apply when the structure of the allowances is simplified.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The new simplified structure of allowances to come into operation in April, referred to in the answer given to the hon. Member for Holborn and St. Pancras, South, (Mr. Dobson) relates only to those payable to trainees under the Training Opportunities Scheme and not to the allowance to young people on the youth opportunities programme. This will remain at £23.50 per week.
