HC Deb 29 November 1991 vol 199 cc691-2W
Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what has been the reduction in the Training, Enterprise and Education directorate administration—not programme—budget since training and enterprise councils were set up.

Mr. Jackson

Precise comparison of Training, Enterprise and Education Directorate administration/ running costs with the period prior to the setting up of TECs is not possible. Area offices which preceded TECs were part of the Training Agency which was responsible for a different range of functions to those administered by TEED.

Setting aside staff seconded to TECs, a total of 2060.5 staff are employed in regional and Head Offices at a cost of £52.9 million for salaries and general administrative expenses on a broad range of functions covering training education and enterprise.
