HC Deb 20 May 1991 vol 191 c367W
Mr. Sillars

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the number of training places provided under Government-funded schemes by the Scottish Association of Mental Health in the year ended 31 March 1991; and how many places are available in the current year 1991–92.

Mr. Allan Stewart

Information about the number of training places provided under Government-funded schemes by the Scottish Association for Mental Health in the year ended 31 March 1991 is not available. However, the number of employment training places contracted between that organisation and the Training Agency as at 20 August 1990 was for a maximum of 591 places. Dealings with the Scottish Association for Mental Health concerning the number of places for the current year, 1991–92, are a matter for individual local enterprise companies. I understand that information on the number of places contracted with individual training providers is not held centrally by Scottish Enterprise or Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
