HC Deb 20 June 1994 vol 245 c4W
Mr. Burns

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the total amount of money made available for training and reskilling under the Konver programme in Essex; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

A total of £201,000 was made available in Essex for training projects as part of £501,000 of grants to projects in the county from the United Kingdom's 1993 Konver programme. I shall seek to ensure that the United Kingdom receives its fair share from the £380 million available under Konver II for the period 1994–1997.
