§ 25. Mr. Paice
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many training and enterprise councils have been approved for pilot funding; how many applications are being processed; and how many areas of the country are still to make applications.

Sixty-four employer-led groups have been given development funding to establish training and enterprise councils (TECs). A further six applications are under consideration, and 12 more are expected later. This will give a complete network of TECs across England and Wales.
