§ Mrs. Margaret EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list in the Official Report the level of grant given towards the employment training scheme to each Scottish district council in 1988–89, 1989–90 and the projected figures for 1990–91.
§ Mr. LangIn employment training a basic training grant at a rate of £18 per trainee week is paid to organisations which have a contract as a training manager for employment training. In addition supplementary grants are payable to training managers to cover additional costs associated with the provision of project or higher cost training and are related to individual needs. The amounts paid to individual training managers either as basic training grants or supplementary grants depend on the number of trainees they can attract and the needs of the individual trainees. Fifteen district councils:
- Angus
- Argyll and Bute
- Caithness Clydesdale
- Cumnock and Doon Valley
- Dunfermline
- East Kilbride
- Hamilton
- Kirkcaldy
- Lochabar
- Midlothian
- Moray
- North East Fife
- Ross and Cromarty
- Wigtown
are at present training managers, but it is not possible to estimate the amount of grant payments to each of these for the years in question.
