The ACE scheme has proved very popular since it was introduced by the present Government in 1981 with a budget of £1·67 million providing 430 ACE jobs. Since then, funding has been substantially increased. This year's budget was £24·24 million and I am seeking further funds to bring the estimated average number of ACE jobs provided throughout the year to 6,150.
