§ Mr. WatersonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans she has to increase the opportunities available to help unemployed people.
§ Mr. McLoughlinOn 12 November, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, announced a new framework of employment and training measures to help unemployed people back to work. The new arrangements, which will begin in April 1993, offer the widest range of help to unemployed people that we have ever provided. We expect there to be almost half a million more opportunities on our programmes in 1993–94 than in this year.
