§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what resources will be available to the training and enterprise council in Bradford; what level of support has been secured from the private sector; what level of grant he is making; how many training places will be available through the training and enterprise council in Bradford; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarThe amount of development funding which will be made available to the Bradford and district training and enterprise council (TEC) is currently being finalised.
I have been very encouraged by the high level of support and commitment from the private sector in establishing the Bradford and district TEC. Its corporate and business plan will set out their proposals to develop training and enterprise activities in the area.
