Community Employment Schemes: Motion.
It is appropriate to hold a debate on the community employment programme as it gives me the opportunity to reaffirm Government policy on its operation and to correct a number of misleading and exaggerated media comments suggesting the cancellation of community employment places before the end of this year and in 2003. There are no Government plans to implement reductions of approximately 13,000 places in the current year, as suggested by some sources.
