benefiting from special employment and training measures in the Slough constituency at the latest available date or in the travel-to-work area of which Slough is a part; and what is the average cost per person supported under each measure.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Some 3,000, although because of the various bases on which local information is collated, an unknown proportion will be in areas outside my hon. Friend's constituency. The costs set out are national averages based on the latest information and estimates and where appropriate include assumptions about periods of participation on schemes and the number of supervisors employed. They do not take into account savings in the payments of benefits or flow-backs to the Exchequer from tax and national insurance. The cost in any particular area for a particular scheme may vary from the national average.
