Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has to discuss with the Department of Employment ways of making it possible for adults to study towards the improvement of their employment prospects.

Mr. Boswell

The Government's proposals for increasing participation in education and training were set out in the White Paper "Competitiveness: Helping Business to Win" published on 24 May. The Department for Education has regular discussions with the Employment Department about matters of mutual interest, including access of adults to education and training to improve their employment prospects.
