Mr. Bermingham

asked the Paymaster General what is the total number of persons registered on community programme placements in the St. Helens area at the last date available.

It is not possible to give information in the form requested. However, at the end of September, the latest date for which statistics are available, there were 4,649 people employed on community programmes in the Merseyside outer area. This includes the Metropolitan borough council area of Knowsley, Sefton and St. Helens.

We are not yet able to give details of the 10 community programme projects with improved funding. Proposals are being discussed between officials and potential project sponsors.
