114. Mr. Roger King

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many representations he has received in response to his proposals to create training and enterprise councils in the White Paper "Employment for the 1990s"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Cope

Since the White Paper "Employment for the 1990s" was published on 5 December over 600 individuals and organisations have been in contact with me or my Department to inquire about training and enterprise councils. I am very pleased about the positive response. I will publish a prospectus in March and I expect to announce the first training and enterprise councils before the end of the year.
