HC Deb 03 July 1984 vol 63 cc128-9W
71. Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he will next visit the European Commission to discuss training for 18 to 25-year-olds.

Mr. Gummer

My ministerial colleagues and I are in frequent contact with our counterparts in the European Community about a wide range of employment and training matters. We particularly welcome this year's changes in the European social fund rules, which will make more resources available to support training initiatives in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the Community. These will benefit all age groups, particularly 18 to 25-year-olds.
