HC Deb 28 November 1991 vol 199 cc595-6W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to establish compact schemes in Wales.

Sir Wyn Roberts

There are four compacts operating in Wales, in south Glamorgan, mid Glamorgan, west Glamorgan and Clwyd. Training and enterprise councils will be able to bid for funding in respect of areas not already covered in their business plans for 1992–93.

Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those areas in Wales where business-education partnerships have been established; and how much money his Department has allocated to each of them.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Education-business partnerships have been established in every county in Wales. A total of £260,000 has been allocated for operational funding in Wales for the current year, but the amount that each partnership will receive will depend on local circumstances and activity.
