HC Deb 16 January 1986 vol 89 c637W
Mr. Gould

asked the Paymaster General if he will approve sufficient increases in the operating costs of community programmes in their training budgets and in the wages of their employees to take account of the inflation rate since the inception of the community programmes.

Mr. Alan Clark

We keep under review the maximum levels of approved costs which can be reimbursed under the community programme and make changes whenever this would improve the cost-effective use of taxpayers' money.
