HC Deb 14 December 1994 vol 251 c696W
Sir Ralph Howell

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when he intends to publish the findings of his Department's evaluation of the North Norfolk Action and Workstart pilots.

Miss Widdecombe

The evaluation of North Norfolk Action and Workstart are now complete. The reports showed that there was much of value in both pilots. The Budget speech of my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor contained two new measures of relevance to the pilots: the 1–2–1 pilot, based on an element of the North Norfolk Action pilot will be extended nationally from April 1995; and a further 5,000 Workstart places will be available from that date. Copies of the reports are available in the Library.
