§ Mr. TippingTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the budget agreed with each TEC in Wales for 1994–1995 broken down by programme area.
§ Mr. RichardsThe budgets made available to each training and enterprise council in Wales, by programme area, are shown on the following table.
§ Mr. RedwoodI concluded that the small number and the nature of complaints coming forward in Wales did not justify such an ombudsman service. Housing for Wales had already taken a lead in resolving tenants' complaints. That decision was communicated to Housing for Wales on 6 April 1994.
§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what consultations he has had with the chairman of Tai Cymru in relation to the working party set up jointly with the Welsh Federation of Housing Associations with respect to guidance on rent setting; what provisions he has made to ensure equivalence between secure and assured tenants housing associations; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RedwoodNone.
§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what consultation he has had with the chairman of Tai 79W Cymru in relation to the guidelines for housing association rental levels, where rent assessment committees set the rent above the assured rent levels.
§ Mr. RedwoodNone. Housing for Wales guidance to associations, however, is that where the rent assessment committee sets a rent above that which the housing association wishes to charge the association need not move to a higher rent determined by a committee, even though that would be the assured rent.
