§ Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek powers to enable day centres operated by the probation service to offer the initial introduction to employment training for persons subject to a section 11(4b) probation order.
§ Mr. John PattenWe have already agreed arrangements with the Training Agency for integrating day centre attendance with the youth training scheme. We are now considering whether similar arrangements might be extended to employment training. Home Office officials will be meeting the Training Agency in the near future to discuss this possibility.
