HC Deb 07 March 1995 vol 256 c142W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how much money was not drawn by the South Thames training and enterprise council from his Department in respect of activity undertaken before period 9 in the year 1994–95.

Mr. Paice

South Thames training and enterprise council was given a budget by the Employment Department for the whole of 1994–95 to cover training and business support programmes. I expect that this budget will be totally drawn down by the end of the financial year.

Ms Hoey

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what funds(a) from his Department, and (b) from European sources which were available to South Thames TEC prior to the appointment of receivers, had not been claimed at the time by the TEC.

Mr. Paice

South Thames training and enterprise council was given budgets for the whole of 1994–95 to fund Employment Department training and business support programmes and European social fund programmes. I expect that these budgets will be totally drawn down by the end of the financial year.
