HC Deb 05 July 1988 vol 136 c565W
113. Mr. Carrington

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many representations he has received about the Government's proposals to develop school compacts; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Fowler

The Training Commission is expecting a number of applications for development funding from potential compact partners in the urban programme areas. The successful bids will be announced at the end of July. Compacts are agreements under. which employers guarantee jobs with training or YTS training followed by a job to school leavers who meet agreed standards of performance.
