Training for Work

HC Deb 01 February 1993 vol 218 c59W

Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the increase or decrease in the national budget for training for work between 1992–93 and 1993–94.

Mr. McLoughlin

The Department is unable to provide a direct comparison of planned expenditure on training for work in 1993–94 and 1992–93 as training for work does not begin until 1 April 1993. Details of planned expenditure in 1993–94 will be published in the 1993 departmental report.

In 1992–93 the equivalent training and work experience programmes for adults are employment training and employment action. In 1992–93 planned expenditure for Great Britain on employment training is £807 million and on employment action is £178 million.
