HC Deb 26 June 1990 vol 175 cc190-1W
38. Ms. Mowlam

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what further measures he intends to introduce to enable the long-term unemployed to receive training.

Mr. Eggar

Employment training already provides a full range of opportunities for all long-term unemployed people to acquire the skills and experience they need to compete for jobs. The flexibilities available to training and enterprise councils in delivering employment training will ensure that training provision will be even more responsive to local needs.
