A total of £560,000 has been budgeted for community opportunities in Scotland in the current financial year of which £64,000 has been allocated to Glasgow. Comparable figures are not yet available for 1989–90.

Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people recruited into community opportunities in the Glasgow area will receive training or further education opportunities.
