HC Deb 08 November 1982 vol 31 c34W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what support for costs towards training courses available through the European Community his Department claims in respect of City and Guilds of London Institute courses.

Mr. William Shelton

None. Support from the European social fund for training in this country is directed primarily to the training of the unemployed through the programmes of the Manpower Services Commission. Assistance is given to programmes in general and although some of this provision includes opportunities to undertake courses under the aegis of the City and Guilds of London Institute, no information is available about specific courses which might indirectly benefit from such support.
