HC Deb 25 May 1993 vol 225 cc524-5W
Ms Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment in what circumstances training for work participants who wish to start their own business can try out their business idea in a period of enterprise rehearsal, and then take up support under the business start-up allowance; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. McLoughlin

The provision of enterprise training under training for work is determined by training and enterprise councils (TECs). Training for work leavers are immediately eligible to be considered by TECs for support under the business start-up scheme.
