asked the Secretary of State for Employment how much of the money allocated for job creation schemes still remains to be taken up.
I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that over £25 million of the £40 million originally allocated to the job creation programme has now been applied for. By 13th February, 795 projects had been approved at a cost of £11·07 million. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced on 12th February that a further £30 million has been allocated to the job creation programme.
