Mr. Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what sums from public funds are currently controlled by(a) TECs and (b) local enterprise companies. [21088]

Mr. Paice

Training and enterprise council budgets on DFEE programmes for 1995–96 are £1,246 million for England. TECs also contract separately with other Government Departments such as the Department for Trade and Industry and the Department of the Environment. Funds controlled by TECs in Wales and LECs in Scotland are a matter for the Secretaries of State for Wales and for Scotland.
