Mr. Grant: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to introduce ethnic monitoring in the reserve forces. [38100] Dr. Reid: My Department is fully committed to promoting within the Armed Forces an environment which is free from harassment and racial discrimination. As part of our efforts to further that commitment, we have decided to begin monitoring the ethnic origin of members of the reserve forces. Monitoring began on 1 April, and will cover all those who are in service, and all those who join the reserve forces in future. Altogether, we expect around 68,000 members of the reserve forces to be included in the survey. The Services are writing to units and individuals to invite them to take a full part in it. The initiative we are taking underlines the commitment that the Armed Forces have made to ensure equal opportunities irrespective of race. The methodology we shall follow for monitoring the reserves is based closely on that which is already in use for the regular Armed Forces. The statistical information derived from monitoring will allow the reserve force managers to analyse recruitment, wastage and other trends; and it will enable them to develop and pursue policies which ensure that racial discrimination of any kind is eradicated from the reserves. The reserve forces involved are principally those which recruit directly from civilian life. Specifically they are: the Royal Naval Reserve; the Royal Marines Reserve; the Territorial Army; the Royal Auxiliary Air Force; the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Training); the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (University Air Squadron); and volunteers to the Royal Air Force Reserve. Because our reserves are recruited locally, and because many of them serve part time, we do not expect the first statistics from the survey to be available until towards the end of this year. Thereafter, the information will be available quarterly.

Mr. Grant: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what was the expenditure by the North London district of the Employment Service excluding administration costs, at cash and constant prices, in each year since 1987-88 on (a) Training for Work, and the programmes it replaced, (b) Youth Training and Modern Apprenticeships, and the earlier YTS, (c) the Enterprise Allowance Scheme, (d) Jobclubs, (e) Restart courses, Jobplan workshops and Workwise, and (f) Community Action; and if he will make a statement. [839] Mr. Alan Howarth: [holding answer 22 May 1997]: Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its Chief Executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given. Letter from Leigh Lewis to Mr. Bernie Grant, dated 2 June 1997: The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question regarding expenditure by the North London District of the Employment Service on a number of programmes since 1987. This is something that falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of the Agency. The table below outlines expenditure by the North London District of the Employment Service on Jobclubs, Restart, Jobplan, Workwise and Community Action since 1993. I will turn to the other programmes you mention later. I should explain that we have only provided information going back to 1993 because it is our policy to hold records of expenditure regionally for three years. However, I hope that you will find the information given below helpful. I ought to say that Workwise was not introduced until April 1995 and that the Community Action programme ran from November 1993 to June 1996. Expenditure _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Name of programme 1993-94 1994-95 1995-96 1996-97 Jobclub 1,197,413 1,276,546 1,304,239 688,463 Restart 312,179 233,850 178,438 166,616 Jobplan 751,440 627,135 410,119 415,907 Workwise n/a n/a 129,051 112,427 Community Action 125,375 541,500 508,473 48,760 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. I should explain that some of the programmes and employment initiatives you mention do not fall under the responsibility of the Employment Service. These are Training for Work (TfW), the Enterprise Allowance Scheme and Youth Training, Modern Apprenticeships, and the earlier YTS. This means that the North London District of the Employment Service did not incur any expenditure on these programmse and initiatives. I hope this is helpful.
