Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.

Welsh Affairs

I am interested to know how ProAct is working. The ““Real help now”” document produced by the Welsh Assembly says that the scheme was funded by the Assembly. Can the Secretary of State confirm that the money is coming from the Assembly, not through European funding? More importantly, I gather that it is a pilot scheme from January to March and that it was supposed to focus initially on the automotive industry. I would be interested to hear about the quantitative outcome—what it has done for that industry and how many jobs has it saved. If there are good lessons to be learned from Wales, they must be passed on to the rest of the country.
