HC Deb 09 July 1986 vol 101 c180W
Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Paymaster General what further funds will be made available specifically for technical and vocational education initiative related in-service training as a result of the expansion of technical and vocational education initiative into a national programme announced in Cmnd. 9823.

Mr. Trippier

TRIST will not receive further funding as a result of TVEI expansion. It will be replaced in 1987 (subject to enabling legislation) by a new scheme of specific grants to local authorities administered by the Education Departments. As pointed out in paragraph 3.14 of the White Paper, the resources available under the new in-service training scheme are to be spent on training to meet needs of the greatest national and local priority, including the extension of TVEI.
