Proceeding contribution from Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Work and Skills.


Work and Skills

The Minister was making a point about flexibility, which I think is important. Six months ago, I encountered a case in which someone wanted to train to be a driving instructor. There was a cost for the relevant course, but Jobcentre Plus said that he was not eligible. I hope that we will look at the criteria that are used, because that course would have got him a job, but he was not eligible. Will the Minister look into such cases?
