§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how he intends to improve the training within the youth training scheme.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsTraining and enterprise councils (TECs), which are responsible for the planning and delivery of youth training, operate under a performance-based contract. Each TEC has arrangements for quality assurance and has the flexibility to develop programmes to meet local needs.
Youth training is being made even more effective through the progressive extension of training credits which are designed to increase the motivation of young people, encourage more employers to train and promote an efficient training market.
