HC Deb 27 January 1995 vol 253 c432W
Mr. Hood

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if the Government will provide training, rehabilitation and assistance from the Employment Service to provide for those taken off invalidity benefit.

Miss Widdecombe

People whose claims to invalidity benefit are disallowed and who register with the Employment Service have immediate access to a 1E1111 range of provision to help them return to work. This help includes referral to training programmes run by training and enterprise councils and local enterprise companies as well as the advice, assessment and guidance, and where necessary specialist services for people with disabilities, which are available directly from the ES. These arrangements will continue and be expanded following the introduction, from April 1995, of incapacity benefit.
