Small Firms Training Initiative

HC Deb 23 February 1995 vol 255 c274W

Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how much in(a) cash and (b) percentage terms he expects to distribute of the skills for small business budget in 1995–96 in Wales.

Mr. Redwood

I have been asked to reply.

I am providing £1 million to fund the small firms training initiative in Wales during 1995–96. This represents 11 per cent. of the £9 million level of funding set aside for the equivalent programme in England known as skills for small business.
