HC Deb 21 March 1985 vol 75 cc550-3W
Mr. Coombs

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the information technology education centres in the United Kingdom; and if he will give for each one (a) the number of staff, full-time equivalents, (b) the number of available places in the current year, (c) the number of unfilled places in the current year and (d) the cost in the current year.

Mr. Peter Morrison

I have been asked to reply.

There are currently 163 information technology centres (ITeCs) in operation and these are as follows. The Manpower Services Commission does not keep centrally detailed information about individual ITeCs and this could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. However, national figures for the ITeC programme are available and at the end of February there were 1,111 adult staff, 5,994 available places and 5,248 trainees in training, comprising young people on both 1983–84 and 1984–85 schemes. The cost of the programme to the commission in the current financial year is estimated to be about 24 million.
