To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what assistance the Government is giving to the training of part-time workers.
Mr. Nicholls
The primary responsibility for training the employed, whether they work full or part-time, rests with the employers. The Government's employment training programme offers part-time training opportunities in certain circumstances for a number of groups of unemployed people. These include people with disabilities, returners to the labour market and lone parents.
