§ Mr. Ashtonasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unemployed workers registered in Worksop and Retford have been offered work under the community enterprise programme since it was launched on 1 April 1981; and how many will be offered opportunities in the next 12 months.
§ Mr. AlisonI regret that statistics are not maintained separately for Worksop and Retford.
In Nottinghamshire from 1 April 1981 to 31 March 1982 it is intended to offer about 980 places under the community enterprise programme. It is expected that a similar number of places will be available from 1 April 1982 to 31 March 1983.
