§ Ms. ShortTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what organisations have been granted ET training agent contracts; what were the planned volumes of trainees between September 1988 and March 1989; what are the planned volumes between April 1989 and August 1989; how many trainees have been referred to ET training agents; and how many action plans have been agreed at the end of each month since September 1989, for each Training Agency area.
§ Mr. Nicholls[pursuant to his reply, 12 June 1989, c. 285–90]: I regret that there was an error in the original reply. The error is in table 2—Action plans completed by Employment Training training agents: September 1988 to March 1989. The figures provided for Northern region were monthly cumulative figures rather than in-month totals. The correct figures for the table are as follows:
