§ Mr. JackTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what programmes designed to boost employment and training are available to employers in Lancashire; and what they will cost during the financial year 1990–91.
§ Mr. NichollsAll my Department's employment, enterprise and training measures are available to boost employment and training in Lancashire, as elsewhere. Measures available to employers and the self-employed include the jobcentre service, business growth training and the enterprise allowance scheme; many employers also participate in programmes designed to equip the unemployed and young people for employment, such as employment training and YTS. My Department's expenditure plans for 1990–91 are contained in chapter 6 of the public expenditure White Paper, published last month.
