HC Deb 30 November 1992 vol 215 c26W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will issue guidelines to training and enterprise councils ensuring an early declaration of moneys to be made available to training agencies with which the councils have made annual contracts.

Mr. David Hunt

My right hon. Friend the Minister of State has already indicated to the training and enterprise councils in Wales an important new development under which they will be guaranteed a minimum level of funding for 1994–95 and 1995–96 for training for work and business and enterprise support. This will be introduced next year and should facilitate TECs' longer-term planning with training and enterprise support providers. Negotiation of the prices which the Government will pay TECs for training and enterprise support in 1993–94 will begin next month.
