§ Mr. BlairTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what arrangements he proposes to make or enter into for processing applications from training and enterprise councils for sums to be paid in 1992–93 and in 1993–94 under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966 for payment of grants to voluntary organisations; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what criteria he proposes to use in determining which applications by training and enterprise councils for payments under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966 shall be successful; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. RumboldTraining and enterprise councils are ineligible to receive grant under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966 (which restricts the payment of grants to local authorities). Applications submitted by TECs for funding of projects with effect from 1 April 1992 under the new ethnic minority grant in parallel with section 11 grant will be considered and processed in accordance with the new arrangements announced by the then Home Secretary in reply to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Ludlow (Mr. Gill) on 18 October, at column 897–98. Copies of the material issued to TECs were placed in the Library. This sets out the criteria by which successful applications will be determined.
