HC Deb 24 April 1990 vol 171 c175W
38. Mr. Buckley

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will set out the weekly level of funding to cover training costs per youth trainees in 1989–90 and 1992–93 in 1990 prices.

Mr. Nicholls

The Exchequer contribution towards youth training costs in 1989–90 and 1992–93 are set out in "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1990–91 to 1992–93" (Cm. 1006).

Additional funds will be made available to training and enterprise councils, and local enterprise companies in Scotland, and whose bids to pilot training credits for young people are accepted. These will involve a transfer of the appropriate proportion of relevant elements from the revenue support grant, and additional sums of £12 million in 1991–92 and £25 million in subsequent years.
