§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will take steps to require that each training and enterprise council includes representatives of small businesses; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Jackson[holding answer 22 May 1991]: The TEC prospectus stated that the private sector directors on training and enterprise councils should broadly reflect the mix of commerce and industry in their area and should include executives with first-hand experience of running small businesses as well as major employers. More generally, TECs are required to take account of the needs of small firms in their plans to bring about a dynamic and prosperous local economy.
