HC Deb 22 March 1995 vol 257 cc244-5W
Ms Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many training and enterprise councils and local enterprise companies are involved in delivering training for work through adult training credits; what plans he has to encourage further development of such credits; and if he will make a statement. [15177]

Mr. Paice

The following training and enterprise councils and local enterprise companies are understood to be using a form of adult training credit within their training for work provision:

  • South and East Cheshire TEC;
  • Hertfordshire TEC;
  • Bedfordshire TEC;
  • Bradford TEC;
  • Barnsley/Doncaster TEC;
  • North East Wales TEC;
  • Grampian Enterprise;
  • Orkney Enterprise.

Responsibility for development projects in Scotland and Wales rests with the appropriate Secretary of State. There are currently no plans for the Employment Department to support further development in this area as TECs have the freedom to deliver TFW through a credit mechanism if they wish.
