HC Deb 26 April 1983 vol 41 c277W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what negotiations have taken place about local authority block grant penalties which authorities may incur if their participation in the technical and vocational education initiative leads to additional current expenditure in 1983–84 and succeeding years.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Local education authorities have been advised that any expenditure defrayed by the Manpower Services Commission under this scheme will not count against authorities' expenditure targets or their prescribed capital expenditure limit.
