Letter from J. S. Crozier to Mr. John D. Taylor, dated 20 June 1994:
PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS Nos. 966 AND 967: 16 JUNE 1994The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has asked me to reply to your questions about Community Workforces in Northern Ireland and within your constituency of Strangford. I have taken your questions to refer to Community workshops which are involved in the delivery of the Youth Training Programme.I have attached a list of the names and addresses of all Community Workshops in Northern Ireland along with their current level of occupancy. The Agency does not set an upper limit in regard to the number of trainees. The limit is determined only by the numbers of trainees the workshop can recruit and its capacity to teach them in accordance with the requirements of the programme.There is one Community Workshop within your constituency:
Name Location Current Occupancy North Down Training Organisation Balloo Avenue, Bangor 72 You also requested details of the estimated contribution of public funds in the present financial year. However, as North Down Training Organisation operates as an independent concern under a Contract of Service with the Training and Employment Agency, I am unable to disclose the financial information requested because I am advised that do so would be a breach of confidence.As regards future prospects, the Agency, subject to the necessary approvals, hopes to introduce an integrated training programme in 1995 to deliver both Youth and Adult training. It would be open to all interested training organisations to bid for contracts under the proposed new Jobskills programme.I hope that you find this helpful.
