HC Deb 17 February 1995 vol 254 c849W
Mr. Austin-Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received from hon. Members and others regarding the future of the Greenwich Training Company; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Paice

I have received a number of representations from hon. Members and others about the future of the Greenwich Training Company. I understand that a meeting was held on Wednesday 15 February at which the directors of the Greenwich Training Company agreed to continue trading. The decision was made after the directors received assurances from South London training and enterprise council that it will contract with the company for 1995–96 if its proposals for assuming 'TEC responsibilities in the London borough of Greenwich are successful.
