Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Employment – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 25 October 1988.
Will my hon. Friend be careful not to take any strictures from Derbyshire county council? Is he aware that it has just undertaken one of the most expensive job training schemes ever announced, in that it appointed as its chief executive a former Labour Member of Parliament at £46,000 a year? He had no training for the job and he had to resign. Does my hon. Friend think that the attitude of Derbyshire county council, if it spread to a national level, would do anything at all to help the people of this country?
