§ Mr. LeightonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the average weekly amount available on employment training excluding supplementary grants to purchase training.
§ Mr. NichollsExcluding supplementary grants of up to £40 per trainee per week, a basic grant of £17.50 per trainee per week and an initial administration fee of £15 for each trainee will be paid to training managers under employment training.
Training managers would also expect to receive contributions of about £5 per day from employers offering practical training placements and also contributions from patrons of some projects. The Training Commission is also 203W making separate grants available for training providers' staff, for special help for people with disabilities, for assessment and certification and for higher and technical level skill training.
