§ Ms JowellTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment why reference to ethnic minorities has been omitted from the draft plan for European social fund objective 3 1994–99; and if he will make a statement.

The draft plan outlines a number of ways in which ethnic minorities may receive help from the ESF.
