HC Deb 22 February 1994 vol 238 cc202-3W
Mr. Rendel

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what measures his Department has taken since 1992 to extend customised training under the job link programme to include inner-city areas.

Miss Widdecombe

[holding answer 18 February 1994]: Customised training support for job link is provided by training and enterprise councils where appropriate through training for work and its predecessor, employment training. From April 1992 to August 1993 it is estimated that 140,000 inner-city residents in England were helped under those programmes.
