Environment Protection: Work Experience

Mr. Dai Davies
To ask the Prime Minister what progress has been made in implementing proposals to increase green work placements, in association with the Eden Project and the Mayday Network; what public funds have been allocated to the proposals; and what his estimate is of the number of green work placements that will be created by this programme.

Mr. Iain Wright
I have been asked to reply.

The Department is currently drawing up plans to deliver green work placements. A full announcement on plans to implement the programme will be made shortly.
