HC Deb 27 March 1986 vol 94 c625W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Paymaster General what proportion of the further £195 million to be devoted to enterprise and employment measures in 1986–87 will be devoted to programmes in the west midlands region.

Mr. Lang

The measures operated by our Department are demand led and the proportion of spending in any region will be related to take-up. We have asked the Manpower Services Commission to consider how best the additional places can be allocated on the measures for which they are responsible.
