HC Deb 11 December 1985 vol 88 cc690-1W
23. Mr. McKelvey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he plans any new initiatives to reduce the level of unemployment in Scotland.

Mr. Allan Stewart

The Government's economic strategy of keeping inflation down, offering real incentive for enterprise and restoring competitiveness to industry, provides the only sensible means of improving the prospects for the unemployed people in Scotland and in Great Britain.

The Government's full range of special employment and training measures to help unemployed people will continue to be available throughout Scotland.
