HC Deb 21 February 1984 vol 54 cc469-70W
65. Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied with the training provision for the long-term unemployed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

I refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's statement on vocational education and training on 31 January at c. 139–140. The Government have agreed to consider a proposal by the Manpower Services Commission that more training or work preparation should be incorporated into the community programme.
