HC Deb 17 July 1989 vol 157 cc63-4W
Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all the voluntary sector community programme agents who decided not to enter the employment training scheme; and how many redundancies he estimates were created as a result.

Mr. Lang

Information on which former community programme agents did not transfer to employment training could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. It is not possible to provide an estimate of redundancies directly relating to community programme agents' decisions not to participate in employment training.

Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all the voluntary sector training agents and training managers for employment training schemes in Scotland.

Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list those private sector companies providing employment training which were formed as a result of management buy-out when local authorities declined to participate in employment training schemes.

Mr. Lang

Nine organisations currently contracted for employment training are known to have been formed as a result of management buy-outs, but to identify these companies in this way would breach the confidentiality which exists between the Training Agency and all its providers.
