HC Deb 22 January 1991 vol 184 c134W
Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the relationship between TECs and compacts.

Mr. Jackson

TECs, with local education authority agreement, may take up contracts for existing compacts currently held with my Department. Additionally, TECs will be asked to establish compacts in those remaining urban programme authority areas in England which are not currently covered by compact arrangements.
