§ Mr. Leighasked the Paymaster General how much Manpower Services Commission money is currently spent in the east midlands.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeIn the period 1 April to 31 December 1985, the Manpower Services Commission spent £67,119,000 directly through its accounts offices in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. This includes administration costs and expenditure on the community programme which is administered by the Manpower Services Commission on behalf of the Government. There was additional expenditure in these areas on programmes funded centrally by the Manpower Services Commission but the sums involved could only be identified at disproportionate cost.
