§ 15. Mr. Gwilym JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the proposed total expenditure for training in Wales in 1990–91; how much of this will be spent on training and enterprise councils; and what assessment he has made of the progress made in developing these councils.
§ Mr. RobertsThe Training Agency's total budget for Wales is £144,324,000. How much of this will be allocated to TECs will depend upon their individual start dates. The network of TECs in Wales is now complete with seven councils in the development phase. I am extremely pleased that we have reached this position much earlier than originally envisaged and look forward to all the TECs in Wales being operational by about the turn of the year.
