62. Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received on the White Paper "Training for Employment"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholls

We have received a number of representations from hon. Members and others about our important and ambitious proposals contained in the White Paper "Training for Employment".

76. Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the implications for deaf people of the White Paper "Training for Employment".

Mr. Nicholls

The new adult programme employment training will provide quality training for all eligible participants including those with hearing difficulties. All organisations participating in employment training will be required to have an effective equal opportunity policy. Trainees with hearing difficulties will have access to the full range of opportunities with, as necessary, additional help through a communicator service, loans for special equipment and the possibility of supplementary funding for training managers for parts of their training programme that would be particularly expensive.
