§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will extend his experimental enterprise allowance scheme to the Leicester city council area.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonNo. The Manpower Services Commission will be operating this experimental scheme in a limited number of pilot areas to test its effectiveness as a means of helping unemployed people set up on their own. No decisions about extending the scheme beyond pilot areas will be taken until we have been able to evaluate how it has worked in practice.
