HC Deb 15 July 1991 vol 195 cc56-7W
Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what training the TECs are providing in London and the south-east in plumbing, wall and floor tiling, roofing and slating.

Mr. Jackson

The information is not available in the form requested. It is a matter for individual TECs to design and deliver provision which meets the needs of the local labour market. I know, for example, that LETEC is providing training in plumbing and plans to introduce training in wall and floor tiling in the autumn.

Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of cash for construction training on employment training is spent in London and the south-east.

Mr. Jackson

The figures are not available in the format requested.

Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people are waiting for a place at Laings and Mowlems construction industry courses in east London.

Mr. Jackson

Information of this kind is held by the TECs and I have asked the chief executive of East London TEC to write to the hon. Gentleman with this information.
