HC Deb 04 May 1982 vol 23 c8W
32. Mr. Peter Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has compared United Kingdom expenditure on youth special employment training measures with similar expenditure in France and Germany; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Although my Department keeps itself informed about special youth employment and training measures operated in France and Germany, there are difficulties in comparing levels of expenditure in different countries. In particular, there may be differences in the definition of a special employment and training measure and in the basis for funding.
