HC Deb 13 May 1985 vol 79 c6W
Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many information technology centres have earned revenue in excess of £10,000 during their third year of operation.

Mr. Peter Morrison

[pursuant to his reply,26 April 1985, c. 589]: Final accounts from all sponsors are not now expected to be available until June or July, but current information shows that two information technology centres earned revenue in excess of £10,000 in their third year of operation. The large majority of centres have not yet completed their third year of operation.

The rules relating to revenue generation by information technology centres have recently been relaxed and this should provide a greater incentive for centres to generate income.
