HC Deb 11 May 1998 vol 312 c3W
Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much public money each New Deal Pathfinder area received from the Government between 1 January and 6 April; and if he will make a statement. [40825]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Although approximately £3.2 million was earmarked to meet the cost of operating the New Deal Pathfinders in 1997–98, with £5m programme expenditure held centrally, it is not possible to give actual expenditure figures at this stage.
