HC Deb 12 June 1990 vol 174 cc92-3W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will give the amount of cash in real terms for employment training in Wales for each of the years from 1980 including the current year and the proposed amounts for 1991; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Roberts

Employment training commenced on 5 September 1988. The budgets for 1988–89 and 1989–90 were £13.671 million and £32.741 million respectively. For 1990–91 the budget is £30.279 million. This is a reflection of the overall decline in unemployment.
