to ask Her Majesty's Government: To publish in tabular form the revised estimates of spending on all the special employment and training measures for 1983–84, and estimates, where they exist, for the following year.

The attached table shows the latest published estimate provision, adjusted by the effects of the cash limit reductions announced by the Chancellor on 7th July, for the spending on the special employment and training measures in 1983–84. Actual expenditure is now expected to be rather less than the provision allows. Discussions are still continuing on public expenditure in 1984–85 and the allocation for the special measures has not yet been finalised. The provisions for the individual schemes will be publiished in the 1984–85 Supply Estimates in due course.
