HC Deb 16 December 1985 vol 89 c51W

Mr. Leighton asked the Paymaster General what is the number of persons in the London borough of Newham on special employment and training programmes analysed by programmes.

Mr. Alan Clark

Some 3,800 people were covered by the employment and training measures in the London borough of Newham at the end of November. Because of the various bases on which local information is collated, an unknown proportion will be in areas outside Newham. The numbers in respect of each scheme are as follows:

Number
Community Industry 120
Community Programme 2,269
Enterprise Allowance Scheme 610
Job Release Schemes 140
Young Workers Scheme 55
Youth Training Scheme 658
