As regards the work experience programme I would refer the Deputy to my reply to a question on 5 May 1988 in which I indicated that this programme was suspended in September 1987. I have no proposals to reintroduce this programme in its previous form.
The employment incentive scheme will continue in operation and indeed the Government's recent package on employment measures includes an extension to this scheme.
