§ Mrs. Helen JacksonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if she will issue guidance as to the means by which training consultants gather information about their past students, in connection with Government-funded schemes.
§ Mr. McLoughlinTraining and enterprise councils, which deliver Government-funded training locally, are private companies and are free to gather information about students in the manner that best suits local circumstances.
We have issued a training and enterprise council management information guide, which may be passed on to training providers and specifies when information about past students should be gathered.
