HC Deb 25 June 1990 vol 175 c102W 102W

§ Mr. Pike
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of employment training places are not filled.

§ Mr. Nicholls
The information requested is not available.

§ Mr. Harry Greenway
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people are estimated to have been on employment training courses since the inception of the scheme; what has been the cost; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Eggar
About 700,000 people have entered employment training at a cost of about £1.6 billion. This is indicative both of the programme's success in attracting large numbers of unemployed people and the Government's significant investment in adult training.
