§ 17. Mr. IllsleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has any proposals to alter the funding of training and enterprise councils; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HowardI have agreed a number of changes in the way training and enterprise councils will be funded from April 1991. These changes, which have been warmly welcomed by the TECs, will result in TECs having more freedom to deploy their resources more effectively. May I add how very much I am looking forward to launching the Barnsley and Doncaster TEC this Friday.
