§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are the purposes of a project 121W sponsored or funded by him entitled Youth Options Menu; where, and by what methods, it operates; what financial or other arrangements have been made for its administration by the organisation Inter-Action; and for what period.
§ Mr. BrookeThe purpose of this project is to help youth service agencies extend their work with young people, especially the young unemployed. The project aims to collect and evaluate examples of good practice from several parts of the country, from which youth agencies can select relevant programmes. The project is administered by Inter-Action, subject to conditions of grant laid down by this Department, which include a steering group on which the Department is represented. Funding of the project by the Department is due to cease in September 1985.
