§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what evidence he has on the financial contribution of private employers to the Government's youth training and employment training programmes since the programmes were introduced.
§ Mr. Allan Stewart[holding answer 14 October 1991]: My right hon. Friend has no detailed evidence about financial contributions made by private employers, either in money or in kind, to the youth training and employment training programmes. It is in the interest of employers to contribute towards training costs, and they are encouraged to do so.
