§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the total budget for television, newspaper and other advertising for the launch of training and enterprise councils; what is the total budget for advertising for each TEC so far established; what is the cost of such advertising nationally and locally, expressed in terms of each person now undertaking training; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Jackson[holding answer 15 March 1991]: The total budget for television, newspaper and other advertising for the launch of training and enterprise councils is £10 million.
The overall budget for local publicity and marketing by TECs in 1990–91 is £4 million. The amount allocated to individual TECs is adjusted during each financial year according to changing requirements.
The figures on the cost of TECs advertising nationally and locally, expressed in terms of training can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
