HC Deb 16 July 1991 vol 195 c115W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to regionalise the management and development of the vocational training programmes which are supported by the European social fund; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

The training and enterprise councils—and the local enterprise companies in Scotland—already have responsibility for the delivery of vocational training programmes such as employment training and youth training and they carry out this task so as to take full account of local circumstances and needs.
