Question:341 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the payment of an additional £25 per week training bonus to some but not all of participants in the vocational training opportunities scheme is a source of divisiveness; the reason the same level of funding is not made available to all participants in this scheme, irrespective of time on unemployment assistance; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
