Workshops about the proposed funding arrangements for the youth training programme which will come into effect on 1 April 1990.

Mr. Needham

I met representatives of the Northern Ireland Association of Community Workshops on 29 January 1990. In response to their representations I have made a number of modifications to the funding arrangements for the youth training programme to meet their concerns. I understand that the association has reacted positively to these changes.
