§ Ms ShortTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much funding has been made available to each TEC in(a)1992–93 and (b) 1993–94, expressed in cash terms and real terms and (c) giving a real terms percentage change from the previous year, for (i) youth training and credits, (ii) training for work and the programmes it replaced and (iii) business start up allowance; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThe figures requested are provided in the following tables.
These show a real terms increase in provision in 1993–94 for both the youth training and business start-up programmes. The reduction in provision for training for work is the result of targeting this programme on training for the longer-term unemployed.
I am advised that the funding to be made available in 1994–95 for training in Wales will enable the youth training "guarantee" to be met and, on the basis of TEC assessments, training places will be available for all eligible adults who wish to train.
