HC Deb 30 March 1988 vol 130 c563W
Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if subsidised work presently carried out by individuals on community programmes puts at risk in any way the viability of small businesses employing craftsmen and tradesmen.

Dr. Mawhinney

No. ACE sponsors must satisfy the Department of Economic Development that proposed projects do not threaten existing businesses or put at risk existing jobs.
