HC Deb 08 June 1990 vol 173 cc731-2W
Mr. Rowlands

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what the budget for the Training Agency in Wales was in 1988–89, and 1989–90 for youth training schemes; and what his estimate is of the budget 1990–91.

Mr. Roberts

The budgets for 1988–89 and 1989–90 were £55.278 million and £50.884 million respectively. For 1990–91 the budget is £45.750 million. This is a reflection of the decline in youth unemployment and demographic change.

Mr. Rowlands

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment his Department has made of the contribution made by the Training Agency and the managing agents of youth training schemes in 1988–89 and 1989–90 to the finances of each technical college in Mid Glamorgan.

Mr. Roberts

The contribution has been significant but no formal assessment of it has been made.

Mr. Wigley

Mr. Grist

I will write to the hon. Gentleman and place a copy of my reply in the Library of the House.
