Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what initiatives his Department has undertaken to improve the training prospects of older workers.

Our "Getting On" campaign encourages employers to develop and train their staff regardless of age.

Unemployed older people are eligible for all the Government's employment and training programmes according to normal criteria.
