HC Deb 02 March 1993 vol 220 cc124-5W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what arrangements exist in Bradford for those undertaking employment training to be supplied with tools necessary for their training and with necessary equipment for undertaking courses of study as part of their ET; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. McLoughlin

The contract with Bradford and District training and enterprise council, which is responsible for delivering adult training in Bradford, requires that the TEC sets out in any contract with a training supplier the arrangements to be made for the provision of any necessary protective clothing and/or equipment for participants on adult training. If to follow the training programme a participant requires protective clothing and/or equipment it will be provided.

Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people who got jobs after doing employment training still had that job six months later, in this year and each preceding year.

Mr. McLoughlin

[holding answer 1 March 1993]: Although there is information on jobs immediately after leaving an ET scheme and on jobs six months after leaving a scheme, there is no information on whether it is the same job. Therefore, the information requested is not available.
