§ Mr. HowardI issued my strategic guidance for 1992–93 to TECs on Friday 15 November. The guidance sets out the key issues I would like TECs to address in their plans for the coming year. At the same time, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and I issued a joint statement setting out ways we see the relationship between TECs and his Department being strengthened. I have placed copies of the guidance and the joint statement in the Library.
