HC Deb 02 December 1996 vol 286 c483W
Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what amount was spent on training by the Department for each unemployed person in(a) 1989–90 and (b) 1995–96, (i) in cash terms and (ii) in 1995–96 prices.[6332]

Mr. Paice

As the programmes covered by training expenditure are by no means confined to the unemployed, it would not be appropriate to express expenditure per unemployed person.
