§ Mr. FaberTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what strategic guidance she is giving to TECs for 1993–94; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardStrategic guidance for 1993–94 on training, vocational education and enterprise will be issued today to all TECs. I am pleased that, this year, it is being published jointly with my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, emphasising a consistent, coherent strategy across government. The guidance builds on the six strategic priorities identified in earlier documents and sets out the key issues for TECs to address in their plans for the coming year. Copies of the guidance "The Strategy for Skills and Enterprise" have been placed in the Library.
