HC Deb 14 February 1989 vol 147 c149W
41. Mr. Holt

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many luncheon club meals will be lost to retirement pensioners in east Cleveland as a result of changes in the training programme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholls

Training Agency officials are currently discussing the east Cleveland luncheon club project with the local training manager. They will do all they can to help the service to continue, so long as the project can provide the training which unemployed people of east Cleveland need to help them get a job. I hope that the luncheon club will be able to continue under employment training and that no meals will be lost to pensioners in east Cleveland.
