HC Deb 23 February 1983 vol 37 cc469-70W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he proposes to extend the enterprise allowance scheme when the pilot projects expire on 1 March.

Mr. Peter Morrison

As the results of the enterprise allowance scheme being run in five areas of the country on a pilot basis have not yet been fully evaluated, we are

Factory Inspectorate; and what proportion of the total expenditure on the Factory Inspectorate these amounts represent.

Mr. Gummer

The information is as follows:

not in a position to decide whether to extend the scheme. However, in the meanwhile I have asked the Manpower Services Commission to continue the five existing pilot schemes due to close for applications on 1 March until the end of the current financial year.
