Letter from Mike Fogden to Ms Ann Coffey, dated 24 June 1996:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about the Employment Service's membership of Opportunity 2000 initiative. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of the Agency.
The Department for Education and Employment's membership of Opportunity 2000 includes the Employment Service.
Lifetime Learning
Lady Olga Maitland: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans she has for encouraging lifetime learning; and if she will make a statement. [34567]
Mr. Paice: All the respondents to the consultation confirmed the importance of lifetime learning to the economic success and competitiveness of business and individuals. They recognised that a great deal of progress has been made, but that there is still more to be done by all those involved. My right hon. Friend is publishing today a policy framework for the development of lifetime learning and placing a copy in the Library. The key elements of the framework are:
employers investing in the training and development of employees;
gaining the commitment of individuals to learning;
improving access to learning;
giving people of all ages the opportunity to acquire the basic skills on which to build further learning;
developing effective partnerships nationally and locally to give practical effect to shared responsibility and to make the best use of resources.
