§ Mr. Andrew F. BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment why no ET training bonus was paid to Mr. T. Haslam of 105 Pendle road, Denton, Greater Manchester; and whether his Department will make an ex-gratia payment.
Mr. JacksonThe employment training training bonus was payable to trainees who spent at least three months on ET and who had successfully completed their training plan and/or achieved a vocational qualification or a credit towards one. Bonuses underwritten by the Employment Department were discontinued for new entrants to ET in April 1990.
My officials are looking into Mr. Haslam's case, and I will write to the honourable Gentleman shortly when I have their findings.
