§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the role of the community projects scheme in relation to his new youth training proposals.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe Government's White paper on training—Cmnd. 8455—published in December 1981, invited community industry to consider carefully where its contribution could best be made in a way consistent with the new youth training scheme. Community industry has since indicated that it would want to provide for 17- and 369W 18-year-olds, although it has accepted that the position may need to be reviewed in the light of any future development in youth training and adult programmes. The Government welcome this decision, which will provide additional help for unemployed young people outside the target group of the new youth training scheme.
