Mr. Lang

The Action for Jobs campaign is designed to raise awareness of the opportunities provided by the Government's employment, training and enterprise measures on which we shall be spending some £3,000 million this year. An initial £3.5 million was set aside for the first stages of the campaign and we shall shortly he announcing a television advertising campaign costing some £1.9 million. This represents less than one fifth of one per cent. of expenditure on the opportunities which are available.
