Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if any undertaking to provide employment training courses has been given by skill centres under the privatisation arrangements.

Mr. Nicholls

Astra Training Services Ltd. has announced that it intends to consolidate the STA's present position as a major provider of employment training. The other successful bidder for a skill centre, Metel, is already a training manager for ET.
